The Anthem of Transnistria, titled We chant thy praises of Pridnestrovia, was written by Boris Parmenov, Nicholas Bozhko and Vitaly Pishenko, and composed by Boris Alexandrovich Alexandrov. The anthem has lyrics in all three official languages of Transnistria: Romanian, Russian, and 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 State (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 Мы славу поём Приднестровью, Здесь дружба народов крепка, Великой сыновней любовью Мы спаяны с ним навека. Восславим сады и заводы, Посёлки, поля, города В них долгие славные годы На благо Отчизны труда. Припев: Пронесём через годы Имя гордой страны И Республике свободы Как правде, мы будем верны. II Мы славим родные долины, Седого Днестра берега. О подвигах помним былинных, Нам слава отцов дорога. Восславим мы всех поименно, Погибших за наш отчий дом. Пред памятью павших священной Отечеству клятву даём. Припев (2x)

I My slavu pojom Pridnestrovjju, Zdesj družba narodov krepka, Velikoj synovnej ljubovjju My spajany s nim naveka. Vosslavim sady i zavody, Posjolki, polja, goroda V nih dolgije slavyje gody Na blago Otčizny truda. Pripev: Pronesjom čerez gody Imja gordoj strany I Respublike svobody Kak pravde, my budem verny. II My slavim rodnyje doliny, Sedogo Dnestra berega. O podvigah pomnim bylinnyh, Nam slava otcov dogora. Vosslavim my vseh poimenno, Pogibših za naš otčij dom. Pred pamjatjju pavših svjašcennoj Otečestvu kljatvu dajom. Pripev (2x)

I Ми славимо край Придністров'я, Дме 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. Приспів: Через доли і води Пронесемо ім'я Ми Республіки свободи, Хай живе тут народів сім'я. II Ми славимо рідні долини, Красоти Дністра берегів, І нам не забути билини Про подвиги наших батьків.

I Long live Mother Transnistria, A country of brothers and sisters This love without notice Gift you daughters, sons. We'll sing orchards and factories, Cities, hamlets, plains, With them also tomorrow O country, prosperous make us be! 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'll sing both valleys and hills, Morning stars on the gray Dniester Wise and old ballads Which for centuries wanted us worthy. We'll 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! Refrain (2x)	I We sing the glory of Transnistria, There is strong friendship between the peoples, Great filial love We fused with her forever. Glorified gardens and factories, Villages, fields, cities – For many glorious years Work there has glorified the Fatherland. Refrain: We will carry through the years The name of our proud country And to the Republic of freedom We will be faithful as truth. II We praise their native valleys, Gray Dniester banks. Remember about the exploits of the epic, We thank the fathers road. We praise names of all Who died for our father's house. Before the sacred memory of the fallen We give oath to the Fatherland. Refrain (2x)	I We praise the land Transnistria Where people are proud Friendship, harmony, love Are forever associated with it. Famous for our plants, Broad fields and cities There are honest people Who labor for the benefit of the Fatherland.
