The Anthem of Transnistria is named We sing the praises of Transnistria (Romanian: Slăvită să fii, Nistrene, Moldovan: Слэвитэ сэ фий, Нистрене, Russian: Мы славим тебя, Приднестровье, Ukrainian: Ми славимо тебе, Придністров’я). The music was written by Boris Alexandrovich Alexandrov, and the lyrics by Boris Parmenov, Nicholas Bozhko and Vitaly Pishenko. The anthem has lyrics in all three official languages of Transnistria: Moldovan, Russian, Ukrainian. They are, however, not all literal translations of one another. The origin of the anthem was from the Russian patriotic song "Long live our Power" (Да здравствует наша держава), a 1943 composition that was one of the proposed songs to be the anthem of the former Soviet Union. Boris Alexandrov's composition was, however, rejected in favor of the one submitted by his father, Alexander Alexandrov.

I

Трэяскэ Нистрения-мамэ,

О царэ де фраць ши сурорь,

Чя драгосте фэрэ де сямэн

Ць-о дэруе фийче, фечорь.

Кынта-вом ливезь ши узине,

Ораше, кэтуне, кымпий,

Ку еле - ши'н зиуа де мыне

О, царэ, просперэ не фий!

Рефрен

Прин време пурта-вом

Нумеле мындрей цэрь.

Ту, Република либертэций,

Ешть крезул ын пашниче зэрь.

II

Кынта-вом ши вэй, ши колине,

Лучеферь дин Ниструл кэрунт,

Баладе'нцелепте, бэтрыне,

Че'н вякурь дестойничь не-ау врут.

Слэви-вом ероикул нуме,

'Н ачя бэтэлие кэзут

Ши'н фаца меморией сфинте

Ной цэрий журэм сэ-й фим скут!

Moldovan Romanian

I

Trăiască Nistrenia-mamă

O țară de frați și surori

Ce dragoste fără de seamă

Ți-o dăruie fiice, feciori.

Cînta-vom livezi și uzine

Orașe, cătune, cîmpii,

Cu ele și-n ziua de mîne

O, țară, prosperă ne fii!

Refren

Prin vreme purta-vom

Numele mîndrei țări.

Tu, Republica libertății

Ești crezul în pașnice zări.

II

Cînta-vom și văi, și coline,

Luceferi din Nistrul cărunt,

Balade-nțelepte, bătrâne,

Ce-n veacuri destoinici ne-au vrut.

Slăvi-vom eroicul nume,

'N acea bătălie căzut

Și-n fața memoriei sfinte

Noi țării jurăm să-i fim scut!

Translation from Moldovan Romanian

I

Transnistrian parent living

A country of brothers and sisters

What is love without notice

You are gifted daughters, sons.

We sing, orchards and factories

Cities, hamlets, plains,

With them he did on me

O country, our children thrive!

Refrain

Through the time we shall carry

The name of our proud country

Thee, the Republic of liberty

You are the belief in peaceful horizons.

II

We shall sing both valleys and hills,

Morning stars from the gray old Dniester

Wise and old ballads

Which for centuries wanted us worthy.

We shall glorify the heroic name

Which fell in that battle

And in the face of the holy memory

We swear to the country to be its shield

Мы славу поем Приднестровью,

Здесь дружба народов крепка,

Великой сыновней любовью

Восславим сады и заводы,

Поселки, поля, города –

В них долгие славные годы

На благо Отчизны труда.

Седого Днестра берега.

Отечеству клятву даем.

For the sake of the Fatherland.

As to the truth.

The banks of the grey Dniester.

The glory of our fathers is dear to us.

In holy memory of the dead.

I

Ми славимо край Придністров'я,

Де люди пишаються тим,

Що дружбою, ладом, любов'ю

Навіки пов'язані з ним.

Прославимо наші заводи,

Широкі лани і міста,

Тут чесно працюють народи

На благо Вітчизни труда.

Через доли і води

Пронесемо ім'я

Ми Республіки свободи,

Хай живе тут народів сім'я

Ми славимо рідні долини,

Красоти Дністра берегів,

І нам не забути билини

Про подвиги наших батьків.

Полеглих за наш отчий дім,

Де пам'ять загиблих священна,

Вітчизні співаємо гімн.
