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.

First verse
Ярема на робство сурово И мрака на сива съдба Ний сринахме с огън и слово В жестока неравна борба.	Jarema na robstvo surovo I mraka na siva sëdba Nij srinahme s ogën i slovo V žestoka neravna borba.		The collar of slavery hard And darkness of grey fate We crashed with fire and word In cruel unequal fight.
Refrain
Републико наша народна, Републико наша здравей! Земята ни днес е свободна, Свободно днес всеки живей!	Republiko naša narodna, Republiko naša zdravej! Zemjata ni dnes e svobodna, Svobodno dnes vseki živej!		Our people’s republic, Our republic, Hail! Today our land is free, Today everyone lives free!
Second verse
За нас свободата е свята И ние ще браним с любов. Кръвта на борците, пролята По всяка падина и ров.	Za nas svobodata e svjata I nie šte branim s ljubov. Krëvta na borcite, proljata Po vsjaka padina i rov.		For us the freedom is sacred And we will defend it with love. The blood of the fighters is spilled, On every Hallow and ditch.
Refrain
Републико наша народна, Републико наша здравей! Земята ни днес е свободна, Свободно днес всеки живей!	Republiko naša narodna, Republiko naša zdravej! Zemjata ni dnes e svobodna, Svobodno dnes vseki živej!		Our people’s republic, Our republic, Hail! Today our land is free, Today everyone lives free!
Third verse
За наши и чужди тирани, Родино, в теб няма простор! Ний помним безбройните рани, Фашисткия кървав терор.	Za naši i čuždi tirani, Rodino, v teb njama prostor! Nij pomnim bezbrojnite rani, Fašistkija kërvav teror.		For our and foreign tyrants, Motherland, there is no space! We remember the numerous wounds The fascist bloody terror!
Refrain
Републико наша народна, Републико наша здравей! Земята ни днес е свободна, Свободно днес всеки живей!	Republiko naša narodna, Republiko naša zdravej! Zemjata ni dnes e svobodna, Svobodno dnes vseki živej!		Our people’s republic, Our republic, Hail! Today our land is free, Today everyone lives free!
