Trăiască RegeleÎn pace şi onorDe ţară iubitorŞi-apărător de ţară.Fie Domn gloriosFie peste noi,Fie-n veci norocosÎn război.O! Doamne Sfinte,Ceresc părinte,Susţine cu a Ta mânăCoroana Română!Trăiască PatriaCât soarele ceresc,Rai vesel pământescCu mare, falnic nume.Fie-n veci el feritDe nevoi,Fie-n veci locuitDe eroi.O! Doamne Sfinte,Ceresc Părinte,Întinde a Ta mânăPe Ţara Română!English translation
