"Our Republic, Hail!" (Bulgarian: Републико наша, здравей!) 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 or 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.

Cyrillic script Latin script IPA transcription Ярема на робство сурово И мрака на сива съдба Ний сринахме с огън и слово В жестока неравна борба. Припев: Републико наша народна, Републико наша здравей! Земята ни днес е свободна, Свободно днес всеки живей! За нас свободата е свята И ние ще браним с любов. Кръвта на борците, пролята По всяка падина и ров. Припев За наши и чужди тирани, Родино, в теб няма простор! Ний помним безбройните рани, Фашисткия кървав терор. Припев Jarema na robstvo surovo I mraka na siva sǎdba Nij srinahme s ogǎn i slovo V žestoka neravna borba. Pripev: Republiko naša narodna, Republiko naša zdravej! Zemjata ni dnes e svobodna, Svobodno dnes vseki živej! Za nas svobodata e svjata I nie šte branim s ljubov. Krǎvta na borcite, proljata Po vsjaka padina i rov. Pripev Za naši i čuždi tirani, Rodino, v teb njama prostor! Nij pomnim bezbrojnite rani, Fašistkija kǎrvav teror.

The yoke of harsh slavery And darkness of a grey fate We have destroyed it with fire and word In cruel unequal struggle. Chorus: Our people's republic, Our republic, Hail! Our land is free today, Freely everyone lives today! For us, freedom is sacred And we will defend with love. The blood of the fighters, shed, In every Hallow and ditch. Chorus For our and foreign tyrants, Motherland, there is no space in you! We remember the countless wounds The fascist bloody terror! Chorus
