V pervoye Pervoye maya
Broshen v byloye blesk
Iskru v ogon razdivaya
Plamya pokrylo lesa
Ukrhom ponikshikh yolok
Vslushivalis lesa
V yunykh yeshcho mayovok
Shorokhi, golosa
Nashe Pervoye maya
V posvistye pul gorya
Shtyk i nagan szhimaya
Bralo dvorets tsarya
Pavshii dvorets tsarya -
Eto yshcho zarya maya
Vpyeryod idushchevo
Svyetom znamyon gorya
Pervoye maya nashe -
V budushchee parusa -
Vzvilo nad moryem pashen
Gulkiye korpusa
Novyye korpusa
Novyye korpusa - novaya polosa maya
Ognyami byshchevo budushchemu v glaza
Fabriki i kolonii
Maiskii vzmyetnyem parad
Zemlyu sozhmyon kolenkami -
Nasha prishla pora
Slushaitye, prolatarii, nashikh zavodov rech
Vam podzhigaya starorye, novuyu yav zazhech
Solntse znamyon podnimaya
Marsh , zagremi v ushakh
Kazhdoye Pervoye maya
K sotsializmu shag
Pervoye maya - shag
Szhavshykh vintovku shakht
V ploshchadi , revolyutsiya
Vbyei millionym shag
