Lyrics
After Stalin's death in 1953, Nikita Khrushchev then came into power and established nation-wide de-Stalinisation policies. The lyrics of the State Anthem of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic would later be revised, per de-Stalinisation.
In the last line of the final stanza in the lyrics, the word Stalin (Kazakh: Сталин) would be replaced with Party (Kazakh: Партия) – in reference to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the official ruling party of the Soviet Union.
Біз қазақ ежелден еркіндік аңсаған, Бостандық өмір мен ар үшін қиған жан. Торлаған тұманнан жол таппай тұрғанда, Жарқырап Лениндей күн жығып, атты таң.
Дақ салмай Лениннің жеңімпаз салтына, Ұрпағы қосты даңқ Оттаның даңқына, Одақтас, ұрандас елдердің қамқоры, Көп алғыс айтамыз ұлы орыс халқына.

Іргелі мемлекет, ерікті болдық ел, Достықпен, бірлікпен жайнайды туған жер. Еңбекте, майданда, жеткізген жеңіске Данышпан Партия[d] – сүйікті кемеңгер.
We, olden Kazakhs, seeking liberty, Sacrificing our lives for honour and glory. Traversing the desolate fog of darkness, Yet forth Lenin came and morning rose upon us.
Chorus: Long live the Soviet[c] Union, To liberty and equality. For the unity of our country, To victory, joy and bravery!
Lenin's victorious path shall never fade, Our future's glory shall in our land spread. To the protector of the Union's republics, We all thank the mighty Russian folks.
Chorus
We have become a country strong and free, Where friendship and unity have been established. Lead us to triumph in war and toil, O wise Party[d] – you are truly loved.
Chorus
