Romanian Anthem

[mister Xazos]

I decided to post this because one friend asked me to do it. And most of all because I'm proud to be Romanian, because our history is glorious, because Romania wrote many pages for Europe's history. And because If WE didn't exist, the whole Europe was conquered by Otoman Empire.
Being Romanian is not just a fact, is a medal you must protect all the life.
Viva Romania !


Republic of Romania Anthem "Deşteaptă-te Române"
Imnul României

Deşteaptă-te, române, din somnul cel de moarte,
În care te-adânciră barbarii de tirani
Acum ori niciodată croieşte-ţi altă soarte,
La care să se-nchine şi cruzii tăi duşmani.

Awaken thee, Romanian, shake off thy deadly slumber
The scourge of inauspicious barbarian tyrannies
And now or never to a bright horizon clamber
That shall to shame put all your enemies.




Acum ori niciodată să dăm dovezi în lume
Că-n aste mâni mai curge un sânge de roman,
Şi că-n a noastre piepturi păstrăm cu fală-un nume
Triumfător în lupte, un nume de Traian.

It's now or never to the world we readily proclaim
In our veins throbs Roman blood
And in our hearts for ever we glorify a name
Resounding of battle, the name of gallant Trajan.




Înalţă-ţi lata frunte şi caută-n giur de tine,
Cum stau ca brazi în munte voinici sute de mii;
Un glas el mai aşteaptă şi sar ca lupi în stâne,
Bătrâni, bărbaţi, juni, tineri, din munţi şi din câmpii.

Raise your broad forehead and look around you
Like fir trees, hundreds of thousands of heroes are standing firm;
A voice they still wait to jump like wolves among the sheep,
Elders, men, youths, boys, from mountains to the plains.




Priviţi, măreţe umbre, Mihai, Ştefan, Corvine,
Româna naţiune, ai voştri strănepoţi,
Cu braţele armate, cu focul vostru-n vine,
"Viaţa-n libertate ori moarte" strigă toţi.

Do look, imperial shadows, Michael, Stephen, Corvinus
At the Romanian nation, your mighty progeny
With arms like steel and hearts of fire impetuous
It's either free or dead, that's what they all decree




Pre voi vă nimiciră a pizmei răutate
Şi oarba neunire la Milcov şi Carpaţi
Dar noi, pătrunşi la suflet de sfânta libertate,
Jurăm că vom da mâna, să fim pururea fraţi.




O mamă văduvită de la Mihai cel Mare
Pretinde de la fii-şi azi mână d-ajutori,
Şi blastămă cu lacrămi în ochi pe orişicare,
În astfel de pericul s-ar face vânzători.




De fulgere să piară, de trăsnet şi pucioasă,
Oricare s-ar retrage din gloriosul loc,
Când patria sau mama, cu inima duioasă,
Va cere ca să trecem prin sabie şi foc.




N-ajunge iataganul barbarei semilune,
A cărui plăgi fatale şi azi le mai simţim;
Acum se vâră cnuta în vetrele străbune,
Dar martor ne de Domnul că vii nu oprimim.




N-ajunge despotismul cu-ntreaga lui orbie,
Al cărui jug de seculi ca vitele-l purtăm;
Acum se-ncearcă cruzii, cu oarba lor trufie,
Să ne răpească limba, dar morţi numai o dăm.




Români din patru unghiuri, acum ori niciodată
Uniţi-vă în cuget, uniţi-vă-n simţiri.
Strigaţi în lumea largă că Dunărea-i furată
Prin intrigă şi silă, viclene uneltiri.




Preoţi, cu crucea-n frunte căci oastea e creştină,
Deviza-i libertate şi scopul ei preasfânt.
Murim mai bine-n luptă, cu glorie deplină,
Decât să fim sclavi iarăşi în vechiul nost'pământ.

What ? shut up ! I'm actually not proud at all to be romanian and I have absolutely no reason to be and neither do you. Just the fact that you were born here isn't reason enough to be proud. And if Romania wouldn't have been then somebody else would have stopped the turks. Romania is the toilet of europe these days and you shouldn't be proud of that.Besides those were times so remote one doubts the truth in those statements. After all, "history is a set of lies agreed upon". Being romanian is a burden and I would give anything to change that but unfortunately I can't.

?????.... Excuse me, but just for the sake of being objective around here, try not to inforce your opinion on others. Nor should you give your opinion the value of absolute truth.

It is your opinion, I respect that, but it would be nice if you tried to respect others' opinions as well.

All the best to you!

[tigress_tim]

Weeeeeeeeeee Don't fight girls
Romania is big enough for all of us LOL!

Sorry dya, but in a way i agree with krityx
Well I'm not romanian, but i was born here.....so sorry dya... it was just too funny....hat to dig in

[dya]

Hello Tiggy!

What fight? I was not fighting with anytbody, I simply addressed Krityx about the way she/he expressed her/his opinion. I did not question the opinion, I don't do that, I reacted to the way the opinion was formulated.

And I'm glad you digged in, this way I have the opportunity of saying Hello and letting you know I found in a supermarket a powder product that once prepared results in the dough for... yes, exactly! So all I had to do was to add the plums and in 20 minutes I was already eating them!

[tigress_tim]

LOL! WOW !!! Are u kidding me ?? Hmm...but tell me - is there any taste difference? ( it has to be ) the color, the taste, it has to be diff

[dya]

Hmmm... not really! I mean, yes, if you really struggle you'll probably find the taste just a little bit different, but not in a bad way. The colour is the same!

The texture is a little bit difficult because it's somehow sticky but then again, the original one is not so easy to handle either.

And on the box they said you can make 12-14 pieces, but when I saw the dough I told myself that if I come out with 5-6 it's a victory! Well, let me tell you, when I finished the dough and I counted them ... there were exactly 14!

It's worth it! You should look for it but don't ask me about the name, I don't remember it, but you'll see the name of the product written in big letters on it

[tigress_tim]

hahaha

I see...well if it's too sticky to handle with, i guess you can just add some extra flour right ? and the problem is solved

Hmm 14?? yea...when I made normally it is between 20-30 I just finished a series yesterday

Neah, i will still with my own dough, home made
it's a lot of fun just making it...hehe...especially if u put too much flour or too less , and then u start cursing and swearing... ( but shhh , nobody needs to know this )

[dya]

Yes, you can add extra flour, which I did, exceeding the quatity they suggested, but you know what happens if you put too much So, you have to deal with it while still a bit sticky!

If you need 20-30, you can buy 2-3 boxex

I'm for the home made stuff myself, but I have to admit, this one is really a time saving product

[tigress_tim]

Yea, I believe you !
This is really a good idea, when some guests are coming and u want to prepare something yummy fast

[dya]

Exactly! Or when you feel like eating this NOW and making it yourself would mean you actually eat it tomorrow

I'm not trying to do anything it was just an opinion. That guy is obviously ignorant and doesn't know what he's talking about - the average romanian that takes pride in the only things he can, things that (supposedly) happened centuries ago. you should have a problem with him, don't you think ?

Oh and I'm not a girl.

[dya]

I don't have a problem with anybody's opinion, not his, not yours!

I believe a person can be proud of whatever they feel it's close to their beliefs or ideals. Also I believe that a person can disregard the exact reasons that make the first person in my example feel proud.

I just don't like it when I have the impression someone wants to make everybody share their opinion in a, what I perceived as, aggessive way.

Anyway, the person who started this thread (2 years ago!!) hasn't joined the forum in a loooong time, so I believe this entire conversation leads to nowhere

Oh, and ok, I'm glad I used the she/he thing, instead of assuming that you're a girl or a boy

[Layla]

Hello, dear members! Let me know if you want me to stick this thread, so it's always in the same place!

Remember, chit-chat goes here: http://www.allthelyrics.com/forum/sp...-romanian.html

Era si cazul sa vina cineva aici si sa ne spuna ca suntem off topic rau de tot!

Te pup!

[tigress_tim]

Din pacate Krityx are dreptate... si aici nu e vorba de o opinie sau alta, sunt fapte atestate de istorie si manipulate sau ascunse de comunisti. Iubesc romanii si Romania, dar trebuie sa spunem lucrurilor pe nume.

Certitudini ))
1. Romanii au avut un rol infim in istoria Europei.
2. Romanii au avut un rol infim in incetinirea inaintarii otomane. In primul rand Otomanii luptau pe doua fronturi Europa-Asia si in al doilea rand o gramada de alte armate luptau impotriva lor.

Asa ca sustineti alte lucruri, cum ar fi tara frumoasa, cultura interesanta, dar nu vorbiti de istorie politica si militara ca eram mai varza decat sarbii sau decat bulgarii care au avut state medievale mai puternice decat noi. ))) (dar acum totusi noi stam mai bine )

[countingstars]

Eu una ma bucur pentru cei mandri, macar ei sunt fericiti. Eu sufar de frustrare intensa cand vine vorba de tara asta si mi-as dori asa de mult sa ma fi nascut undeva intr-un loc mai civilizat... cu orice ocazie care apare imi reamintesc ca, prin mostenire de sange, nu sunt eu prea romanca, insa e o consolare infima, avand in vedere ca tot aici traiesc. Unii numesc asta orgoliu si negarea identitatii, dar sunt convinsa ca nu sunt singura care simte asa, iar genul asta de orgoliu e cam dureros pentru cel care il detine.

Totusi, sa nu transformam subiectul intr-un motiv de cearta
