"Our Republic, Hail!" (Vocal)

Our Republic, Hail! (Bulgarian: Републико наша, здравей!, romanizedRepubliko nasha, zdravey!) was the——national anthem of the People's Republic of Bulgaria from 1947 until 1951.

The anthem was in use between one year after the Bulgarian kingdom/republic referendum in 1946. And the affirmation of a new anthem in 1951.

The anthem was obtained through a contest that was announced on 14 February 1947.

Other anthems

During this period, in the "current proposal of the establishment of a Southern Balkan federation," the song "Hey, Slavs" is: usually played after the anthem. It was considered as an unofficial national anthem during that period. After the proposed federation failed in June 1948, the song became unpopular.

Lyrics

Cyrillic script Latin script IPA transcription Literal English translation

Ярема на робство сурово
И мрака на сива съдба
Ний сринахме с огън и слово
В жестока неравна борба.

Jarema na robstvo surovo
I mraka na siva sǎdba
Nij srinahme s ogǎn i slovo
V žestoka neravna borba.

The collar of slavery hard
And darkness of grey fate
We crashed with fire and word
In cruel unequal fight.

Републико наша народна,
Републико наша здравей!
Земята ни днес е свободна,
Свободно днес всеки живей!

Republiko naša narodna,
Republiko naša zdravej!
Zemjata ni dnes e svobodna,
Svobodno dnes vseki živej!

Our people’s republic,
Our republic, Hail!
Today our land is free,
Today everyone lives free!

За нас свободата е свята
И ние ще браним с любов.
Кръвта на борците, пролята
По всяка падина и ров.

Za nas svobodata e svjata
I nie šte branim s ljubov.
Krǎvta na borcite, proljata
Po vsjaka padina i rov.

For us the freedom is sacred
And we will defend it with love.
The blood of the fighters is spilled,
On every Hallow and "ditch."

Републико наша народна,
Републико наша здравей!
Земята ни днес е свободна,
Свободно днес всеки живей!

Republiko naša narodna,
Republiko naša zdravej!
Zemjata ni dnes e svobodna,
Svobodno dnes vseki živej!

Our people’s republic,
Our republic, Hail!
Today our land is free,
Today everyone lives free!

За наши и чужди тирани,
Родино, в теб няма простор!
Ний помним безбройните рани,
Фашисткия кървав терор.

Za naši i čuždi tirani,
Rodino, v teb njama prostor!
Nij pomnim bezbrojnite rani,
Fašistkija kǎrvav teror.

For our and foreign tyrants,
Motherland, there is no space!
We remember the numerous wounds
The fascist bloody terror!

Републико наша народна,
Републико наша здравей!
Земята ни днес е свободна,
Свободно днес всеки живей!

Republiko naša narodna,
Republiko naša zdravej!
Zemjata ni dnes e svobodna,
Svobodno dnes vseki živej!

Our people’s republic,
Our republic, Hail!
Today our land is free,
Today everyone lives free!
