Re: [Cz-L] Turkish Czernowitz

The Turks had at that time left The Romanian principates for some half
of a century.

The song by Vasile Alexandri:

A venit din munţi un vultur/Şi ne-a zis: -- "Români Eroi,
Ştiu un prinţ viteaz şi tânăr/Ce-ar veni cu drag la voi.
Dacă-l vreţi vi-l dau ca Vodă"./Noi cu toţii: -- "Să ni-l dai".
Şi ne-a dat pe Vodă CAROL,/Într-o zi de 10 Mai.

Şi-a venit vulturul iară,/Şi ne-a zis: -- "Popor Român,
Eşti viteaz, de ce mai suferi/Jugul unui neam păgân?
Fă-te liber, dezrobeşte-ţi/Mândra ţară care-o ai".
Şi noi liberi ne făcurăm/Într-o zi de 10 Mai.

Vulturul venit-a iarăşi/Şi ne-a spus: "Popor Român,
Aţi luptat cumplit la Plevna/Duşi în foc de-al vostru Domn.
Vrednic e să-l faceţi Rege,/Într-o ţară ca în rai".
Şi noi rege îl făcurăm/Tot în zi de 10 Mai.

Zece Mai ne-a fi de-a pururi/Sfântă zi, căci ea ne-a dat
Domn puternic ţării noastre/Libertate şi Regat.
Ridicaţi cu toţii glasul/De prin şesuri, de prin plai,
Să trăiască România/Ura! pentru 10 Mai!

In Google translation:

It came from a mountain eagle / And we said: - "Romanian heroes,
I know a young prince and warrior / What would gladly come to you.
If you want it give it that Voda ". / We all: -" Let us give it. "
And gave us the Prince Charles / In a day May 10.

He came again; eagle, / And we said: - "The Romanian people,
You're brave, why suffer / yoke of a heathen nation?
Do you open it you dezrobeşte-ţi/Mândra country. "
They made us free and new / In a day May 10.

Eagle has come again / And we said: "The Romanian people,
Have struggled terribly in Pleven / taken in a fire of yours Lord.
Is to make it worthy King, / In a country like in heaven ".
They made him king and November / All the days of May 10.

Ten May we be for ever / holy day, because it gave us
Powerful ruler of our country / Freedom and Kingdom.
Lift all voice / For the lowlands of the realm,
Long live Romania / Hooray! on May 10!

Best to all,
Berti.
