Lyrics
Trăiască Regele În pace şi onor De ţară iubitor Şi-apărător de ţară. Fie Domn glorios Fie peste noi, Fie-n veci norocos În război. O! Doamne Sfinte, Ceresc părinte, Susţine cu a Ta mână Coroana Română! Trăiască Patria Cât soarele ceresc, Rai vesel pământesc Cu mare, falnic nume. Fie-n veci el ferit De nevoi, Fie-n veci locuit De eroi. O! Doamne Sfinte, Ceresc Părinte, Întinde a Ta mână Pe Ţara Română!English translation
Long live the King In peace and honour Loving his country And defending it May he be a glorious Lord May he be over us May he forever be lucky In war O! Holy Lord Our father in the sky Hold with your hand, The Romanian Crown! Long live the Fatherland, As long as the Sun in the sky, Happy heaven on Earth With a great and famous name. May it forever be spared Of necessities, May it forever be inhabited By heroes. O! Holy Lord! Our father in the sky, Hold your hand Over the Romanian Land!References
