Trei Culori - Freer English Translation

Freer English Translation

With three colours I'm acquainted

Which recall a gallant race –

Since old times by glory sainted

Battles has it won apace.

For long ages our forefathers

Have this gallant flag unfurled,

So we may the land's fruit gather,

Building here the future's world.

This tricolour flag of ours

Flutters crimson, yellow, blue,

Like a star in skyey bowers

Rise my people, brave and true.

In this world we are a nation

Keen on work and of one soul.

Free and with new reputation,

Sharing one ambitious goal.

Now united by our Party;

In Romania's meads and fields,

Our work is hard and hearty,

Building Socialism its yield.

For the homeland's greater glory

We crush enemies at fight,

But we'd share a peaceful story

With all peoples in proud light.

Proud Romania, now dearer,

Live forever in fine light!

In the Communist new era

Like a star you must shine bright!
