"Te slăvim, Românie" (We glorify you, Romania) was the national anthem of the Romanian People's Republic, and later Socialist Republic of Romania between 1953 and 1975. The lyrics were written by Eugen Frunză and Dan Deșliu, the music by Matei Socor. It mentions Romania's brotherhood with the Soviet Union and praises Leninist ideology.

In the 1960s, in line with Romania's de-satellization, the reference to the "Soviet liberators" in the anthem was dropped.[1][2]

It was replaced by "E scris pe tricolor Unire" in 1975, which only lasted until 1977 as Romania's anthem.[3]

Lyrics (original; until the 1960s)

Romanian lyrics	English translation
Te slăvim, Românie, pământ părintesc Mândre plaiuri sub cerul tău pașnic rodesc E zdrobit al trecutului jug blestemat Nu zadarnic, străbunii eroi au luptat Astăzi noi împlinim visul lor minunat. Cor: Puternică, liberă, Pe soartă stăpână Trăiască Republica Populară Română! Înfrățit fi-va veșnic al nostru popor Cu poporul sovietic eliberator. Leninismul ni-e far și tărie si avânt Noi urmăm cu credință Partidul ne-nfrânt, Făurim socialismul pe-al țării pământ. Cor Noi uzine clădim, rodul holdei sporim Vrem în pace cu orice popor să trăim Dar dușmanii de-ar fi să ne calce în prag Îi vom frânge în numele a tot ce ni-e drag Înălța-vom spre glorie al patriei steag Cor	We glorify you, Romania, our Fatherland Proud lands under your peaceful sky are yielding The cursed yoke of the past is smashed It was not in vain that our heroic ancestors fought; Today we're fulfilling their wonderful dream Chorus: Powerful, free, Master of your fate Long live the Romanian People's Republic! May our people be forever brothers With the liberator Soviet people Leninism is our lighthouse and force and momentum We're following with faith our invincible Party We're creating socialism on our country's land. Chorus We're building new factories, we're increasing the yield of the land We want to live in peace with all peoples But if our enemies come to trample us We will defeat them in the name of everything we love And we will rise to glorify our Fatherland's flag. Chorus
