Motherland love left from fathers, a dear love
We have created shiny days at the bloody battlefields 
The popularity of our country exist from  generations to generations.
Long live Azerbaijan, Land of Fire – our Motherland
Old East is caused our a sunrise from the might of our country ..
Our flag is a world of fraternal socialism,
Long live the Motherland! You are the glory of our people, pride.
Our leader the great Lenin – our glorious victory flag,
Stalin\'s guide, the life style of ours.
Beautiful Baku! Azerbaijan takes inspiration from your might 
Free nation, free days in this native Soviet land.
Long live Azerbaijan, Land of Fire – our Motherland
Old East is caused our a sunrise from the might of our country ..
Our flag is a world of fraternal socialism,
Long live the Motherland! You are the glory of our people, pride.
Russian people is our brother, the flag carrier of freedom,
We have fed this friendship, this inspiration with our blood  
The glorious Soviet land is the pride of the  earth 
The first spring of humanity flourished in this land ...
Long live Azerbaijan, Land of Fire – our Motherland
Old East is caused our a sunrise from the might of our country ..
Our flag is a world of fraternal socialism,
Long live the Motherland! You are the glory of our people, pride.
