Riga Technical College Anthem
Un ”pastāvēs, kas pārvērtīsies”...
Lai vārdi šie nav sauklis vien.
Kad mūsu karogs vaļā vīsies,
Lai augšup maināmies ikviens.
Šis karogs svēts, jo tas ir mūsu,
Un mūsu rokās tas ir celts,
Lai zināšanas, kuras gūstam,
Ir vērtīgākas nekā zelts.
Un jaunība, kas šodien mūsu,
Lai mūžam dvēselē ir tā.
Mēs bijām, esam un mēs būsim –
Rīgas Tehniskā koledža!
