@alinricman there is no problem with Romania.. people are getting confused with the country "Romania" and the meaning of Ρωμανια in the Pontian Greek Dialect... in the Pontian dialect, Romania refers to the land and area on the coast of the Black Sea.. now modern day turkey... im not Pontian, but this is what i understand Romania to mean....
@im1hecticwog You know, the academicians who picked this title for my land after unification (Romania) was in the memory of apartenency to Byzantium and latinity. We are really proud of that and we respect greeks!;)
The chorus says " i romania an perasen, anthi kai feri ki allo" .
Ill try translate it to " even if byzantium has passed , its regenerating and will bloom once again" ok ok to all the precise greek intelectuals , dont freak out if im not 100% correct im just trying to answer best i can to DRAGs question.
.I guess there is a connection with the Armenian genocide but not directly. This genocide is only one segment of the whole scheme. The idea was to remove all Christian residence from Asia Minor (today is called Turkey) this started prior to 1915 when all Christians were forced to be exterminated by many means. My Grant parents were from the segment of the black sea region known as Pontus where this song originates. They survived this and told me a tone of stories about it.
The song that you so much like is called Romania (Byzantium) is taken. The term Byzantium is a western term taken from the first city build by the city-state of Megara at the location that was known as Byzantion later New Rome then Constantinople and today Istanbul. Romania was the name of the empire and even today the Greeks are referred to as Romei (Romans). The country of yours simply kept the name of the old empire.
In Romania, no problem, the video report on the Pontiac (Greek) Genocide by the Turks in 1922 near the present North Sea Turkey.
Just Byzantium (Constantinople) at the time was called and Romani (no Romania) by the new Rome.

the song has nothing to do with the pontian genocide.
The song has to do with the fall of Constantinople in 1453.. lets get our facts straight!

Μη κλαις, μη κλαις, Αγιάννε μου
και μη δερνοκοπάσαι
η Ρωμανία ΄πέρασεν
η Ρωμανία ΄πάρθεν
Η Ρωμανία κι αν ΄πέρασεν
ανθεί και φέρει κι άλλο.

The original tekst:
Ν΄ αϊλί εμάς και βάι εμάς
η Ρωμανία ΄πάρθεν
επαίραν το βασιλοσκάμ΄
κι ελάεν η Αφεντία.
Μοιρολογούν τα εκκλησιάς
κλαίγνε τα μοναστήρα
κι ο Αι-Γιάννες ο Χρυσόστομον
κλαίει και δερνοκοπάται

Romania may have been wasted away, she may have been taken
but still she blooms, and will bring forth other things to come.
Sfentami 2 years ago
A free ttranslation would be:
Romania (land of the Rum- orthodox christians, ie. Greeks) was taken
woe us, woe us, Romania is taken
The throne is taken, the king has gone
the churches woe
the monasteries weep
and Saint Ioannis Chrysostomos
cries and weeps
don't weep, don't weep my dear Saint John, don't anguish yourself
