Romania Anthem

Friday 18th May 2001

Romania's current national anthem is "Wake Up Romania" and was offically introduced after the revolution in December 1989. It had previously been banned by the communist party.

Desteapta-te romane din somnul cel de moarte
Din care te-adancira barbarii de tirani, barbarii de tirani.
Acum ori niciodata, croieste-ti alta soarta
La care sa se-nchine si cruzii tai dusmani
Si cruzii tai dusmani.
