Trăiască Regele

"Trăiască Regele" (Long live the King) was the national anthem of the Kingdom of Romania between 1884 and 1948. The music was composed in 1861 by Eduard Hübsch, an army captain who later became the chief of the music department of the Minister of War. The lyrics were written by the Romanian poet Vasile Alecsandri in 1881, when Romania became a Kingdom.

Romanian lyrics English translation

I
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!

II
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!

I
Long live the King,
In peace and honour
Loving his country,
And defending it.

May he be a glorious Lord,
May he reign over us,
May he forever be fortunate
In war!

O! Holy Lord,
Our Heavenly Father,
Hold with Your Hand,
The Romanian Crown!

II
Long live the Motherland,
As long as the Sun in the sky,
Merry earthly heaven,
With a great, towering name.

May it forever be spared
Of needs,
May it forever be inhabited
By heroes.

O! Holy Lord!
Our Heavenly Father,
Extend Thy Hand
Over the Romanian Land!
