The State Anthem of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic was adopted and approved in 1947 as an official state symbol by the Supreme Soviet of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic. The authors of the lyrics were the poets Turab Tula and Timur Fattah. The music of the anthem is credited to Mutal Burhonov, whose music is retained in the current national anthem of Uzbekistan.

Background
The anthem was used 1947 to 1991. The music was composed by Mutal Burkhanov, and the words were written by Timur Fattah and Turab Tula. The anthem, such as those of the Tajik SSR and the Turkmen SSR, opens with a salute to the Russian people. The Uzbeks are not mentioned until the fourth line.
The melody is used in the current national anthem of Uzbekistan, with different lyrics. It is one of the four remaining post-Soviet countries, along with Russia, Belarus, and Tajikistan, to continuously use their Soviet-era anthems with different lyrics. The Soviet-era lyrics were removed after the Uzbek SSR changed its name to the Republic of Uzbekistan and declared independence on 31 August 1991, when Abdulla Oripov wrote new lyrics adopted in 1992.

Peace be upon you, Russians, our great comrades,
Long live our dear leader Lenin, our beloved – our beloved!
You have shown us the path to freedom,
In the land of Soviets, Uzbeks found glory!
Chorus:
The Party is our guide, dear Uzbekistan,
A sunny land you are, rich and harmonious!
Your soil is a treasure, your joy is endless,
May you be blessed in the land of the Soviets!
In the sunny land we could not see the light,
By river banks we were thirsty for water, for water.
Yet forth Lenin came and morning rose upon us;
He who shall remain eternally in our hearts.
Chorus
The garden of communism shall forever blossom,
Eternal brotherhood – friendship shall live on, shall live on!
The Soviet banner is victorious and firm,
The universe shines from the light of this flag!
Chorus

Peace be upon you, Russians, our great brothers,
Peace be upon our immortal leader, dear Stalin!
You have shown us the path of freedom,
In the Soviet land, the Uzbeks are glorified!
Chorus 1:
Long live the land of cotton, free Uzbekistan,
Bright hearth of the east, reach perfection.
Banner of Soviets, banner of victory,
May you forever be glorious.
On hot days the sun was hidden from us,
We were thirsty even by filled rivers.
Yet the faithful sun of Lenin shone upon us,
And Stalin showed us the way to our happiness!
Chorus 2:
Long live the land of cotton, free Uzbekistan,
My rich, prosperous country, reach perfection.
Banner of Soviets, banner of victory,
May you forever be glorious.
With the light of science, our path is now clear,
The Soviets are our eternal brothers.
Annihilating intruding enemies,
Let us advance to new victories!
Chorus 3:
Long live the land of cotton, free Uzbekistan,
My invincible, heroic country, reach perfection.
Banner of Soviets, banner of victory,
May you forever be glorious.
