Adopted text of the National Anthem of the Socialist Republic of Romania, music by Ciprian Porumbescu.

I know three colors in this world,Which bring to mind a dauntless people.They're brave, and their renown is old,And victory is theirs in battle.
Centuries uncountedOur heroic ancestors fought;Now we live as masters in the homeland,As builders of the new world.
​
Red, yellow and blueAre our colors;Glorious as a starRises my people.
Closely united, working hard,In the world we are a peopleFree, of new reputeAnd daring aim.
Today the party unites us,And on Romanian soilSocialism is builtWith workers' enthusiasm.
And you, proud Romania,Forever may you live;In the communist era,As a star will you shine.

[Here follows an annotation of the music]
