Editing Deșteaptă-te, române! (section)

==Lyrics==
Romania's national anthem has eleven stanzas. Today, only the first, second, fourth, and last are sung on official occasions, as established by Romanian law. At major events such as the [[Great Union Day|National Holiday]] on 1 December, the full version is sung, accompanied by [[21-gun salute]] when the [[President of Romania|President]] is present at the event.

|<poem>'''Awaken thee, Romanian, wake up from thy deathly trance'''
'''Into which thou wert sucked by tyrannic barbarians.'''
'''Thee awaiteth a new fate, now or never is the chance'''
'''To caustic shame and chagrin put all thine enemies.'''

'''Now or never let us prove our traditions to the world'''
'''That through our veins still floweth the blood of the Roman;'''
'''Within our minds and essence a name we highly applaud,'''
'''Triumphant in war we are, for the name of Trajan.'''<ref group="note">The [[Roman Empire|Roman]] emperor [[Trajan]] conquered [[Dacia]], covering roughly the same territory as modern Romania, for the [[Roman Empire]].</ref>

Lift up thy broad forehead and notice all around thee,
Standing like mountain fir trees, a hundred thousand braves;
An order do they await, ready to attack like wolves,
From mountains high and plains wide, old heroes and young braves!

'''Behold, marvelous shadows: Michael, Stephen, Corvinus,'''{{efn|The text refers to a member of the Romanian-origin [[Hunyadi family|Corvin family]] (either [[John Hunyadi|John]] or [[Matthias Corvinus|Matthias]])}}
'''The Romanian nation, thy children are fearless.'''
'''With weapons armed in thy hands, thy hearts fervid and aflame,'''
'''"Live in liberty or death," we all clamour to fame.'''

Thou wert vanquished, destroyed by the evils of thine envy
At Milcov, the Carpathians, by blind disunity!
But we, whose souls were pierced by sacramental liberty,
Swear that forever we will join in fraternity!

A widowed mother from time of Michael the Almighty<ref group="note">Michael briefly ruled the principalities of Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania, covering roughly the same territory as modern Romania.</ref>
Of her sons a helping hand she demandeth today,
Whosoever, her eyes filled with tears, spewing blasphemy,
In times of such great peril, a proven snitch at bay!

Of thunder and of lightning, of brimstone should they crumble,
Anyone who escapeth from this glorious calling,
When homeland and our mothers, with a heart sorrowful,
Will ask us to traverse through swords and fire blazing!

Have we not had enough of the cruel crescent's yataghan
Whose fatal wounds we still feel to this very day?
Now, the knout<ref group="note">A whip usually associated with [[Imperial Russia]], as the [[yatagan]] was with the Ottomans.</ref> is intruding on our ancestral lands,
But the Lord is our witness; thus, we'll toss it away!

Have we not had enough of despotism's eye blinding,
Whose yoke we have, for ages, all like cattle carried?
Now the cruel ones are trying, in their arrogance blinding,
To take away our language, but only dead we'd cede it!

Romanians of the four rims, 'tis either now or never,
To unite in reflection, to band in emotion!
Proclaim to the whole world that the Danube hath been stolen
Through intrigue and coercion, through sly machination!

'''O Priests, rise thy cross holy, for this army is Christian,'''
'''Our motto is liberty blessed with sacred mission.'''
'''Better to die in battle in utmost pride and glory,'''
'''Than to once again be slaves in our noble country.'''</poem>
|<poem lang="ru">'''Отбрось оковы, сердце румынского народа,'''
'''Восстань от векового, от мертвенного сна!'''
'''Уже настало время зажечь огонь свободы'''
'''И за свои страданья врагам воздать сполна!'''

'''Уже настало время низвергнуть гнет тирана,'''
'''Принесший столько горя и зла краям родным.'''
'''Пусть целый мир узнает: мы — правнуки Траяна,'''
'''И чести славных предков вовек не посрамим!'''

Как сосны вековые, стоят стеной солдаты,
Готовы с грозным кличем помчаться на врага,
Разя за край родимый, за гордые Карпаты:
Без родины свободной нам жизнь не дорога.

'''О Михай, Штефан, Матьяш, великие владыки,'''
'''Не стыдно нам, потомкам, в глаза вам посмотреть:'''
'''В руках мечи сверкают, огнём пылают лики,'''
'''Как гром, призыв суровый: «Свобода или смерть!»'''

Погибель принесли вам кровавые раздоры,
Сердца сковала ваши жестокая вражда,
Но мы клянемся смело: ни реки и ни горы
Не смогут разделить нас, мы — братья навсегда!

Мать Михая-героя, вдова, стоит пред нами,
На славный подвиг ратный благословляет нас,
Но будет ею проклят с презреньем и слезами,
Кто дрогнет и отступит в тяжелый этот час.

Мы за тебя готовы пройти сквозь сталь и пламя,
Румыния, веди нас, сражаться нам вели!
Пусть тех, кто сердцем будет с коварными врагами,
Господь огнём и серой сотрет с лица земли!

Довольно мы страдали от черных ятаганов,
Нам не страшны удары позорного кнута.
Вставайте же, румыны! Долой ярмо тиранов!
Свобода, честь отчизны навек для нас свята.

Пусть враг нас хочет сделать скотиной бессловесной,
Похитить речь родную и мудрость наших книг,
На смертный бой пойдем мы, ряды смыкая тесно,
И не пленит захватчик свободный наш язык!

Сыны земли румынской, забудем разногласья,
Единой силой встанем за милый отчий край,
И о злодействе новом заявим громогласно:
В руках убийц коварных великий наш Дунай!

'''Благословенна будет грядущая расплата,'''
'''Священный, вечный подвиг — спасти страну свою.'''
'''Мы вызволим отчизну из рабства супостатов'''
'''Или падем со славой в отчаянном бою!'''</poem>
