Jaa kestma, Kalevite kange rahvas,
ja seisa kaljuna, me kodumaa!
Ei vaibund kannatustes sinu vahvus,
end labi sajanditest murdsid sa
ja tousid oitsvaks sotsialismimaaks, ^[b]
et paikene su paevadesse paista saaks.

II
Nuud huuga, tehas, vili, nurmel vooga,
sirp, loika, alasile, haamer, loo!
Noukogu elu, tuksu voimsa hooga,
too onne rahvale, me tubli too!
Me Liidu rahvaste ja riike seas
sa, Eesti, sammu esimeste kindlas reas!

III ^[c]
Sa korgel Leninlikku lippu kannad
ja julgelt kommunismi rada kaid.
Partei me sammudele suuna annab
ja voidult voitudele viib ta meid.
Ta kindlal juhtimisel kasva sa
ja tugevaks ning kauniks saa, me kodumaa!

I
Endure, strong people of the Kalevs
And stand as a boulder, our homeland!
Your courage did not subside in the sufferings,
You broke yourself through the centuries,
and became a flourishing socialist country, ^[b]
So the sun could shine in your days.
  
II
Now roar, factories, wave, cornfields;
Reap, sickle and strike, anvil and hammer!
May the Soviet life, in full swing
Bring happiness to the people through good labor!
Among the people and nations of our union,
You, Estonia, march at the firm forefront!

III ^[c]
You’re holding the Flag of Lenin high,
And boldly following the path of Communism.
Our Party will give us direction
And will lead us from victory to victory.
You will grow under its firm leadership
And become strong and beautiful, our Homeland!
