For a short period of time in the early 1990s, the national anthem of Moldova was "[[Deșteaptă-te, române!]]", which was and remains the national anthem of [[Romania]]. The lyrics were written by [[Alexei Mateevici]] (1888&ndash;1917) a month before his death.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://zcj.ro/eveniment/de-ziua-limbii-romane-limba-noastra-va-rasuna-din-turnul-primariei-cluj--162993.html|title=De Ziua Limbii Române, "Limba noastră" va răsuna din turnul Primăriei Cluj|newspaper=Ziua de Cluj|date=2017-08-30|access-date=2020-12-03}}</ref> Mateevici contributed significantly to the national emancipation of Bessarabia. The music was composed by [[Alexandru Cristea]].
The focus of "Limba noastră" is language, hence its namesake; in this case, the official language of Moldova, namely [[Romanian language|Romanian]].


The [[Constitution of Moldova]] refers to the country's official language as ''Romanian'', and similarly in December 2013, a decision of the [[Constitutional Court of Moldova]] ruled that the Declaration of Independence takes precedence over the Constitution and that the state language is therefore ''Romanian''.<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/world/moldovan-court-rules-official-language-is-romanian-replacing-soviet-flavored-moldovan/ "Moldovan court rules official language is 'Romanian,' replacing Soviet-flavored 'Moldovan'"]</ref> In [[Transnistria]] and by older populations, however, the language is often referred to as ''Moldovan''. Additionally, in Transnistria, the [[Moldovan Cyrillic alphabet]] is still used, and the [[Russian language]] is spoken by a majority in the region.

"Limba noastră" (Romanian: [ˈlimba ˈno̯astrə] ⓘ), known in English as "Our Language", is the national anthem of Moldova.[1] It has been used since 1994 and was officially adopted on 22 July 1995.[2]

For a brief period of time in the early 1990s, the national anthem of Moldova was "Deșteaptă-te, române!", which was and remains the national anthem of Romania. The lyrics were written by Alexei Mateevici (1888–1917) a month before his death.[3] Mateevici contributed significantly to the national emancipation of Bessarabia. The music was composed by Alexandru Cristea.

Lyrics

[edit]

The focus of "Limba noastră" is language, hence its namesake; in this case, the official language of Moldova, namely Romanian.

The Constitution of Moldova refers to the country's official language as Romanian, and similarly in December 2013, a decision of the Constitutional Court of Moldova ruled that the Declaration of Independence takes precedence over the Constitution and that the state language is therefore Romanian.[4] In Transnistria and by older populations, however, the language is often referred to as Moldovan. Additionally, in Transnistria, the Moldovan Cyrillic alphabet is still used, and the Russian language is spoken by a majority in the region.

The anthem calls for the people to revive the usage of their native language. The poem does not refer to the language by name; it is poetically called "our language".

Codru forests, referred to in the line "Our language is the greenest leaf of the everlasting codrii".
The Dniester river, referred to in the line "Gentle river Dniester’s ripples hiding starlight bright and shining."

"Limba noastră" is based on a 12-verse poem. For the officially-defined national anthem used today, the verses were selected and reorganised into 5 verses of 4 lines each; namely, the first, second, fifth, eighth and twelfth verses, respectively,[5] which are highlighted in bold.

Romanian original[6][7] Moldovan Cyrillic[8]
(official in Transnistria) 		IPA transcription[a]

I
Limba noastră-i o comoară
în adîncuri înfundată
Un șirag de piatră rară
pe moșie revărsată.

II
Limba noastră-i foc ce arde
într-un neam, ce fără veste
S-a trezit din somn de moarte
ca viteazul din poveste.

III
Limba noastră-i numai cîntec
doina dorurilor noastre
Roi de fulgere, ce spintec
nouri negri, zări albastre.

IV
Limba noastră-i graiul pîinii
cînd de vînt se mișcă vara
În rostirea ei bătrînii
cu sudori sfințit-au țara.

V
Limba noastră-i frunză verde
zbuciumul din codrii veșnici
Nistrul lin, ce-n valuri pierde
ai luceferilor sfeșnici.

VI
Limba noastră-i vechi izvoade
povestiri din alte vremuri
Și citindu-le ’nșirate
te-nfiori adînc și tremuri.

VII
Limba noastră îi aleasă
să ridice slava-n ceruri
Să ne spuie-n hram și-acasă
veșnicele adevăruri.

VIII
Limba noastră-i limbă sfîntă
limba vechilor cazanii
Care-o plîng și care-o cîntă
pe la vatra lor țăranii.

IX
Înviați-vă dar graiul
ruginit de multă vreme
Ștergeți slinul, mucegaiul
al uitării ’n care geme.

X
Strîngeți piatra lucitoare
ce din soare se aprinde
Și-ți avea în revărsare
un potop nou de cuvinte.

XI
Nu veți plînge-atunci amarnic
că vi-i limba prea săracă
Și-ți vedea, cît îi de darnic
graiul țării noastre dragă.

XII
Răsări-va o comoară
în adîncuri înfundată
Un șirag de piatră rară
pe moșie revărsată.

I
Лимба ноастрэ-й о комоарэ
ын адынкурь ынфундатэ
Ун шираг де пятрэ рарэ
пе мошие ревэрсатэ.

II
Лимба ноастрэ-й фок че арде
ынтр-ун ням, че фэрэ весте
С-а трезит дин сомн де моарте
ка витязул дин повесте.

III
Лимба ноастрэ-й нумай кынтек
дойна дорурилор ноастре
Рой де фулӂере, че спинтек
ноурь негри, зэрь албастре.

IV
Лимба ноастрэ-й граюл пыйний
кынд де вынт се мишкэ вара
Ын ростиря ей бэтрыний
ку судорь сфинцит-ау цара.

V
Лимба ноастрэ-й фрунзэ верде
збучумул дин кодрий вешничь
Ниструл лин, че-н валурь пиерде
ай лучеферилор сфешничь.

VI
Лимба ноастрэ-й векь извоаде
повестирь дин алте времурь
Ши читинду-ле ’нширате
те-нфиорь адынк ши тремурь.

VII
Лимба ноастрэ ый алясэ
сэ ридиче слава-н черурь
Сэ не спуе-н храм ши-акасэ
вешничеле адевэрурь.

VIII
Лимба ноастрэ-й лимбэ сфынтэ
лимба векилор казаний
Каре-о плынг ши каре-о кынтэ
пе ла ватра лор цэраний.

IX
Ынвиаци-вэ дар граюл
руӂинит де мултэ време
Штерӂець слинул, мучегаюл
ал уйтэрий ’н каре ӂеме.

X
Стрынӂець пятра лучитоаре
че дин соаре се апринде
Ши-ць авя ын ревэрсаре
ун потоп ноу де кувинте.

XI
Ну вець плынӂе-атунчь амарник
кэ ви-й лимба пря сэракэ
Ши-ць ведя, кыт ый де дарник
граюл цэрий ноастре драгэ.

XII
Рэсэри-ва о комоарэ
ын адынкурь ынфундатэ
Ун шираг де пятрэ рарэ
пе мошие ревэрсатэ.

I
Our tongue a noble gem bejeweled
From ominous shadows of old,
A pendant of stones rare and grand
That scattered all over our land.

II
Our language is a fervent flare
Amidst a folk who suddenly
Awoke from the deadly slumber
Like the heroes brave and holy.

III
Our language a body of songs
From the devotions of our soul.
A flash of lightning strikes apace
Within black clouds, blue horizons.

IV
Our language is the tongue of bread
When the breeze blows through the summer
Proclaimed by our forefathers who
Blessed the country through their labour.

V
Our tongue the greenest verdant frond
Of our codrii lasting and fond,
Our Dniester flows with repose
Like a constellation of stars.

VI
Bemoan not! Thy yammers shall cease
That thy tongue's only a mere piece;
Yet, abound in words aplenty
That scatter o'er our dear country.

VII
Our language abounds in folklore
And legends from the days of yore.
Reading and delving into them
Renders all aghast and in qualm.

VIII
Our language is the chosen one
For blessing glory in heaven,
Acclaiming in endless passion
Everlasting faiths that beckon.

IX
More than heavenly is our tongue
Of sacred homilies of old;
For aeons lamented and sung

Wash off the rust and grime that grew
When left in oblivion our land.

XI

And absorb bright light from the sun.
Now thou wilt see countless new words
That are rushing over our land.

XII
Apace shall our treasure extend
From ominous shadows of old,
A pendant of stones rare and grand
That scattered all over our land.

I
Наш язык, наш клад нетленный
От безверия укрытый,
Свет жемчужин драгоценных,
Над отчизною разлитый.

II
Наш язык — душа живая
Пробуждённого народа.
Он воспрянул, разрывая
Сна мертвящие тенета.

III
В нём живут огонь и дойна,
Грусть полей и шелест хлеба,
Полыханье белых молний,
Рвущих тучу в чёрном небе.

IV
Это боль, сердец томленье,
Тихий говор дедов наших,
Что любили эту землю
Правдой рук в труде угасших.

Наш язык — узор прекрасный,
Кодры, шорох листопада.
Плёс Днестра, в котором ясно
Догорают звёзд лампады.

VI
Наш язык — скрижаль былого,
Голос многих поколений.
Это их святое слово
Пробуждает в нас волненье.

VII
Словом предков мы по праву
Воспеваем в час урочный
Вековечных истин славу
В светлом храме, в доме отчем.

VIII
Потому он свят до боли,
Что на нём в отцовском крае
И оплакивают долю,
И застолье воспевают.

IX
Нет ему в веках забвенья,
Что забыто — воскресите,
Пыль эпох с него сотрите, —
Жаждет он освобожденья.

X
Соберите свет жемчужин
С ярким радужным отливом —
И пред вами хлынет дружный
Новых слов поток бурливый.

XI
Нет, роптать вам не придётся
На язык свой с укоризной, —
Он щедрее струй в колодцах
Нашей матери-отчизны.

XII
Да пребудет он нетленным
От безверия укрытый,
Свет жемчужин драгоценных
Над отчизною разлитый.
