Cor: (Romanian Lyrics / Versuri)
Trăiască, trăiască, republica noastră,
În marș de năvalnic șuvoi revărsat;
Muncitori și țărani, cărturari și ostași,
Zidim România republicii noi!

Chorus: (English Lyrics / Translation)
Long live, long live our Republic!
In a march of a tempestuous overflowed torrent
We, workers and peasants, bookmen and soldiers,
Are building the Romania of the new Republic.
