"Hora Unirii"[1][2] (transl. "Hora of the Union") is a poem by Vasile Alecsandri, published in 1856. The music of the song was composed by Alexandru Flechtenmacher [ro]. The song is sung and danced especially on January 24, the anniversary of the day in which the Romanian United Principalities were formally united in 1859.[3] It was, in fact, considered the "unofficial anthem" of the unification of the Romanian principalities and its supporters in 1859.[4][5][6]
The poem Kënga e bashkimit ("The Song of Unit") of Aleksandër Stavre Drenova, published in 1912, is a clear adaptation of Alecsandri's "Hora Unirii".[7]
It was used by TVR for its station sign-off during the "energy saving program" between 1985 and 1989, when its schedule was severely limited to two hours per day.
Text and translationedit
Hai să dăm mână cu mână Cei cu inimă română, Sa-nvârtim hora frăției Pe pământul României!
Iarba rea din holde piară! Piară dușmănia-n țară! Între noi să nu mai fie Decât flori și omenie!
Măi muntene, măi vecine Vino să te prinzi cu mine Și la viață cu unire Și la moarte cu-nfrățire!
Unde-i unul nu-i putere La nevoi și la durere Unde-s doi puterea crește Și dușmanul nu sporește!
Amândoi suntem de-o mamă De-o făptură și de-o seamă, Ca doi brazi într-o tulpină Ca doi ochi într-o lumină.
Amândoi avem un nume, Amândoi o soarta-n lume. Eu ți-s frate, tu mi-ești frate, În noi doi un suflet bate!
Vin' la Milcov cu grăbire Să-l secăm dintr-o sorbire, Ca să treacă drumul mare Peste-a noastre vechi hotare,
Și să vadă sfântul soare Într-o zi de sărbătoare Hora noastră cea frățească Pe câmpia românească!
Let's join hands, Those with Romanian hearts To go round the dance of brotherhood On Romania's land!
May the bad seed disappear May the enmity in the country be gone Let there only be Flowers and kindness among us!
Hey Wallachian, hey neighbor Come join me, Unity through life And brotherhood through death!
A single man is weak During sorrows and pains Where there are more The enemy cannot overcome!
We are sons of the same mother The same origin and kind Like two joined pines Like the light of two eyes!
Both of us carry the same name Both of us one fate in the world I am your brother and you are mine We have the same heart beating in our chests!
Come to Milcov, hurry To dry it in one sip So that the great road Shall pass our old borders,
And so that the sacred sun Shall shine upon a day of celebration Upon our brotherly dance On the Romanian Plain!
