Instrumental recording of the anthem

"Trăiască Regele" ("Long live the King"), also known as the "Imnul Regal" ("The Royal Anthem"),^[1] was the national and royal anthem of the Kingdom of Romania between 1884 and 1948. The music was composed in 1861 by Eduard Hübsch, an army captain who later became the chief of the music department of the Minister of War. The lyrics were written by the Romanian poet Vasile Alecsandri in 1881, when Romania became a Kingdom.

It is derived from Hübsch's "Triumphant March", the first anthem of Romania. With Trăiască Regele being adopted in 1884, both are essentially the same song.^[2]

Lyrics

Romanian original	English translation
I Trăiască Regele În pace și onor De țară iubitor Și-apărător de țară. Fie Domn glorios Fie peste noi, Fie-n veci norocos În război. Refren: O! Doamne Sfinte, Ceresc părinte, Susține cu a Ta mână Coroana Română! II Trăiască Patria Cât soarele ceresc, Rai vesel pământesc Cu mare, falnic nume. Fie-n veci el ferit De nevoi, Fie-n veci locuit De eroi. Refren: O! Doamne Sfinte, Ceresc părinte, Întinde a Ta mână Pe Țara Română!	I Long live the King, In peace and honour, Loving his country, And defending it. May he a glorious Lord be, May he reign over us, May he forever fortunate be, In war! Chorus: O! Holy Lord, Our Heavenly Father, Hold with Thy Hand, The Romanian Crown! II Long live the Motherland, So long as the Sun's in the sky, Earth's glad Promised Land, With a name great and lofty. May it forever spared be Of needs, May it forever inhabited be By heroes. Chorus: O! Holy Lord, Our Heavenly Father, Extend Thy Hand O'er the Romanian Land!
