Estonian SSR Anthem (1945-1990; Instrumental Midi) Eesti NSV Hümn

The "State Anthem of the Estonian SSR" was the regional anthem of the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic (under the Soviet Union) from 1945 to 1990. The official Estonian anthem was strictly forbidden. (English Lyrics / Translation) Endure, heroic people of Kalevs and stand as a rock, our homeland! Your courage did not subside in the sufferings, You broke yourself through the centuries (1945–56) and arose as a free land of workers, (1956–90) and arose a socialist country in blossom, for sun could shine in your days. Ye roar, factories, and corn-fields, wave; Reap, sickle, and beat out, hammer! May the life of the Soviets throb in mighty swing; May happiness be brought to people by good labor! Among our Soviet nations and states Estonia, march in the firm fore! (1945–53) Thy home beaches stand as a castle, wide waters only wave before you. You&bearing Lenin&banner high, great Stalin leading your ascent. March steadily with our fighting spirit and bold manly mind guiding you! (1956–90) You&bearing Lenin&banner high, You&boldly marching your Communist way. Our Party will lead our steps and take us from victory to victory. Grow in her firm leadership And become mighty and fair, our Homeland! #eestinsvhumn
