Treceţi batalioane române Carpaţii [English translation]

A historic song reminds us

That we will be brothers forever,

A battle song as old as The Union

You, my fellow citizens, listen to this:

Romanian troops, cross The Carpathian Mountains,

To war, with leaves and flowers

Victory awaits you, your brothers await you too

Thinking fondly about the mountain passes.

Ardeal, Ardeal, Ardeal is calling us

We are the only hope!

Boy, kiss your parents and your brothers

And then let’s go to war!

Ahead, ahead towards The Great Union

Let us break the unfair boundary,

Let us cross The Carpathians, we need Ardeal

Even if we could be buried alive.

They accomplished The Union with the swords, oh, the hearts they had!

To Alba we were all heading,

All the people of the country agreed with the union,

The will of the people.

We were all Romanian troops,

Moldavia, Muntenia, Ardeal,

The natural union with the motherland

Was the rightest ideal.

This is the story of our Ardeal

And of our brave people

The whole history with battles and sacrifice

Lives in today’s union.

Justice and peace watch over The Carpathians

And there are leaves and flowers all across the country

The victory is ours, they are our brothers,

Long live the three colours!

We want peace for our country and world peace,

And if they cast a curse on us

The Carpathians and its brothers will come together

Following the supreme lider.

Romanian troops, cross The Carpathian Mountains,

To weapons, with leaves and flowers

Victory awaits you, your brothers await you too

Thinking fondly about the mountain passes.
