We, during the first war
We overcame death, we
Lord, take care of the Romanians!
We shed our blood and sweat
For Great Romania
Lord, take care of the Romanians!

We sacrificed our life and soldiers
For a motherland of brothers,
Lord, take care of the Romanians
We ofered facts, we gave our words
From Nistru to Tisa,
Lord, take care of the Romanians!

But then, in the year 1940
The year of the great robbery,
Lord, take care of the Romanians!
Two beasts bit us:
The ultimatum and the dictate,
Lord, take care of the Romanians!

The poor world didn’t know
That one day, in Moscow,
Lord, take care of the Romanians!
They signed a stupid pact
Molotov and Ribbentrop
Lord, take care of the Romanians!

And the world fascism
Took a piece of Ardeal,
Lord, take care of the Romanians!
And they gave it to Horty,
To hell with their names!
Lord, take care of the Romanians!

Stalin and his terror
Took Basarabia away from us
Lord, take care of the Romanians!
And he agreed with Hitler
To take away Bucovina from the north,
Lord, take care of the Romanians!

The biggest robbers tore us apart
They took our country and our land,
Lord, take care of the Romanians!
Nobody heard our cry as we were suffering on the cross,
Lord, take care of the Romanians!

So we also took part
In the second war,
Lord, take care of the Romanians!
Come on, marshal!
To Moldova and Ardeal,
Lord, take care of the Romanians!

We fight for we miss each other
For our county, for our people,
Lord, take care of the Romanians!
For the ancient borders,
For Great Romania,
Lord, take care of the Romanians!

And we lost, and we were defeated,
And we were under Russian occupation
Lord, take care of the Romanians!
Our allies kept quiet,
Stalin did whatever he pleased,
Lord, take care of the Romanians!

And we died a thousand times
In order to have again three colours on our flag
Lord, take care of the Romanians!
And we paid more than enough
For our holy freedom
Lord, take care of the Romanians!

Our country is small, the times are hard,
Whatever will be, will see,
Lord, take care of the Romanians!
To forget, we’ll never forget
Our country as it is,
Lord, take care of the Romanians1

As long the Romanian will be a Romanian,
The baby will be breast fed,
Lord, take care of the Romanians!
The true truth
About everything that happened,
Lord, take care of the Romanians!

Remember, my son,
That there is a God,
Lord, take care of the Romanians!
And a vow bounds you
Our country is not whole,
But this will be until one day

When you’ll also be a man
Always feel like a soldier,
Lord, take care of the Romanians!
For the ancient borders
For Great Romania,
Lord, take care of the Romanians!
