According to the requirements of the organizers, it should in a simple, tight and exciting form reflect the most characteristic of the historical development of the Bulgarian people.

In its content, the heroic struggles of the Bulgarian people for liberation, the majestic and unexpected glories of Hristo Botev and Vasil Levski, as well as the other fighters fallen for freedom, have to be emphasized.

Reflection requirements are to show "the love of the people to the homeland, the praise of its beauty, its determination to fight, to work affectionately for its glory and prosperity, its readiness for all sacrifices for freedom and independence, and friendship with the Soviet Union.

[4] Among the authors were Elisaveta Bagryana, Mladen Isaev, Ivan Rudnykov, Nikolay Marangozov, Aleksandar Gerov, Mihail Lakatnik.

According to the commission, none of these poems meet all the requirements, which is why the poets Bagryana, Isaev and Nikola Furnadzhiev were assigned to compose a final version.

The rejection of the cult of personality of Stalin and attempts to democratize the Soviet system in the early 1960s led to the discourse of the replacement of the anthem.

On 29 March 1962, the Council of Ministers of Bulgaria announced a competition for writing of texts and music, with the deadline for the submission of the project on 1 May 1963.

Да крепне навеки съюзът ни боен С могъщия братски съветски народ!

Великото слънце на Ленин и Сталин, С лъчите си нашия път освети.

За нашата скъпа, прекрасна родина Готови сме труд и живот да дадем!

Za našata skǎpa, prekrasna rodina Gotovi sme trud i život da dadem.

A brief comparison of the translation of both of the anthem proves this :[6] Sing to our Motherland, free and undying, Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong!

Through tempests the shadows of freedom have cheered us, Along the new path where great Lenin did lead, Be true to the people, thus Stalin has reared us, Inspired us to labor and valorus deed.
