Copii Romania

Gone you sons of darkness

Gone you tyrants of old

From the land where we hear lautari playing

Here in the outfield of europe

A cry for freedom was heard

Rang out to the world

And we all stood watching

Hold the light

Keep it burning so bright

For the children



Copii romania

Must they live so long in the shadows

Copii romania

Will we turn and say

Like many times before

We did not know?



Once there was a proud people

Filled with laughter and song

Could they feel something wrong

Through the air was blowing?

Here by the mighty karpatii

The fight for freedom began

The fight for life still goes on

But no-one listens any more



Hold the light

Keep it burning so bright

For the children



Copii romania

Must they live so long in the shadows

Copii romania

Will we turn and say

Like many times before

We did not know?
