From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Trei culori was the former national anthem of Romania prior to the anti-communist Romanian revolution of 1989.
The national flag of Romania is a tricolor: red, yellow and blue. It has not undergone many or major changes in the course of history. Only the distribution of the colors (in point of proportion and position) changed to a certain extent, being made equal after the Romanian revolution of 1848 when, under the spur of the French revolutionary spirit, many states in Europe adopted as their national flag the dimensionally standardized three-color banner.
Trei culori cunosc pe lume
Cât pe cer şi cât pe lume,
Roşu-i focul vitejiei,
Multe secole luptarăNational Anthem of Socialist România
Ce le ştiu ca sfânt odor,
Sunt culori de-un vechi renume
Amintind de-un brav popor.
Vor fi aste trei culori,
Vom avea un falnic nume,
Şi un falnic viitor.
Jertfele ce-n veci nu pier
Galben, aurul câmpiei,
Şi-albastru-al nostru cer.
Bravi şi ne-nfricaţi eroi
Liberi să trăim în ţară
Ziditori ai lumii noi.
