Raise your broad forehead and look around you Like fir trees hundreds of thousands of heroes are standing firm; A voice they still wait to jump like wolves among the sheep Elders men youths boys from mountains to the plains Watch on shadows of highnesses Michael Stephen Corvinus The Romanian Nation your great grandchildren With weapons in their arms with your fire in their veins Life in freedom or death! shout all You were vanquished by the evils of your envy And by your blind disunity at Milcov and the Carpathians But we whose souls were pierced by holy liberty Swear that for ever in brotherhood will join A widowed mother from the time of Michael the Great Claims from her sons today a helping hand Casting curses with tears in her eyes on whosoever In such great peril a traitor would become Of thunder and of brimstone should they perish Those who flee our glorious endeavor When our land our mother with tears in her heart Will ask us to cross through swords and blazing fire Didnt we have enough of the yatagan of the barbaric crescent Whose fatal wounds even today we still feel? Now the knout is intruding our ancestral homes But we give witness before the Lord that alive we do not accept it Didnt we have enough of the blinded despotism Whose yoke like cattle for centuries weve carried? Now let the cruel ones try in their blind arrogance To take away our language but give it we will only deads! Romanians from the four corners now or never Unite in thought unite in feeling Proclaim to the wide world that the Danube is stolen Through intrigue and sly machinations Priests lead with your crucifixes! Because our army is Christian The motto is Liberty and its goal is holy Better to die in battle in full glory Than to once again be slaves upon our ancient ground!
