Here’s the Lyrics.
(Original: )
(Full: )
(Note: 𝄆 & 𝄇 signal repeats)
(EX: “𝄆 Let’s march! 𝄇” from the French anthem)
First Stanza:
Wake up, Romanian, from the sleep of death,
Into which you have been sunk 𝄆 by the barbaric tyrants! 𝄇
Now or never, make a new fate for yourself.
To which even 𝄆 your cruel enemies will bow. 𝄇
Second Stanza:
Now or never, let us show the world.
That through these veins still flows 𝄆 a Roman blood. 𝄇
And that in our chest we still proudly carry a name.
Victorious in battles, 𝄆 the name of Trajan! 𝄇
Third Stanza:
Behold, imperial shadows, Michael, Stephen, Corvinus,
The Romanian Nation, 𝄆 your great-grandchildren. 𝄇
With weapons in their arms, with your fire in their veins.
“Live in liberty 𝄆 or death!” they all proclaim. 𝄇
Fourth (Last) Stanza:
Priests, lead with holy crosses, for this army of Christians.
Its motto is liberty 𝄆 and its goal all too holy. 𝄇
Better to die in battle, with eternal glory,
Than to be slaves again 𝄆 on our ancient land! 𝄇
