While another song with Ernesaks' melody "Mu isamaa on minu arm", served as means of expressing national feelings, and was widely regarded by Estonians as their "unofficial anthem".

Ei vaibund kannatustes sinu vahvus, end läbi sajanditest murdsid sa ja tõusid õitsvaks sotsialismimaaks, et päikene su päevadesse paista saaks.

Nüüd huuga, tehas, vili, nurmel vooga, sirp, lõika, alasile, haamer, löö!

Me Liidu rahvaste ja riike seas sa, Eesti, sammu esimeste kindlas reas!

Ta kindlal juhtimisel kasva sa ja tugevaks ning kauniks saa, me kodumaa!

Your courage did not subside in the sufferings, You broke yourself through the centuries, and became a flourishing socialist country, For the sun could shine in your days.

Nüüd huuga, tehas, vili, nurmel vooga, sirp, lõika, alasile, haamer, löö!

Me Liidu rahvaste ja riike seas sa, Eesti, sammu esimeste kindlas reas!

Your courage did not subside in the sufferings, You broke yourself through the centuries, And arose a socialist country in blossom, For the sun could shine in your days.

May the Soviet life throb in mighty swing; May happiness be brought to the folks through good labor!
