Anthem

Riga Technical College has its symbols, i.e a graduate’s signet ring approved in 2002 and a college  flag sanctified by the priest Juris Rubenis. At about the same time a college anthem was written by the author Dina Kristine Bitena and the composer Atvars Sirmais.

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!
