National Anthem of Romania: Deteapt te, romne!

(Turn on Youtube subtitles for English subtitles) “Deșteaptă-te, române!“ (Awaken, Romanian!) is the national anthem of Romania. The lyrics were composed by Andrei Mureșanu (1816–1863) and the music was popular (it was chosen for the poem by Gheorghe Ucenescu, as most sources say). It was written and published during the 1848 revolution, initially with the name “Un răsunet”. It was first sung in late June in the same year in the city of Brașov, on the streets of Șchei quarter. It was immediately accepted as the revolutionary anthem and renamed “Deșteaptă-te, române”. Since then, this song, which contains a message of liberty and patriotism, has been sung during all major Romanian conflicts, including during the 1989 anti-communist revolution. After that revolution, it became the national anthem, replacing the communist-era national anthem “Trei culori“. From 1991 to 1994, it also served as the national anthem of Moldova. This version is sung by Brio Sonores. ROMÂNĂ: „Deșteaptă-te, române!” este imnul naț
