Deşteaptă-te, române"(variously translated as "Awaken thee, Romanian!", "Awaken, Romanian!", or "Wake Up, Romanian!") is Romania's national anthem.
The lyrics were composed by Andrei Mureşanu (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" ("An echo"). It was first sung on the same year in the city of Braşov, on the streets of Şchei quarter. It was immediately accepted as the revolutionary anthem and renamed "Deşteaptă-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" ("Three colors"). ************************************* Near-literary lyrics: ************************** Wake up, O Romanian, from your deadly sleep Into which you've been sunk by the barbaric tyrants Now, as at no other time, your fate renew, To which your enemies will bow too.
Now or never let's give proof to the world That in these veins still flows a Roman blood, That in our chests we still maintain our pride in a name The victor in his battles, the name of Trajan!
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.
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!

i-mi vine sa vomit cind va aud !!dar de desteptat cind pula mea va mai desteptati !!ca vad ca dormiti in continuare in timp ce altii vind tara sau ce a mai ramas din ea !!
imi dau lacrimile cand aud imnul.e o melodie ce elogiaza faptele strabunilor nostrii si care ne aduce aminte ca poporul asta a dat oameni puternici:Mircea cel Batran,Vlad Tepes,Stefan cel Mare,Mihai Viteazul si altii.
Imnul Romaniei, ''Desteapta-te romane" este o metafora, ''Reinvie romane". Pentru tara noastra au murit milioane de romani, pentru ca noi sa fim liberi astazi. Este o referire la constientizarea strabuinilor nostri in noi insine, noi existam pentru ca ei s-au luptat si trebuie sa respectam prin a continua de a ne aminti de ei si a continua a lupta.
