"Limba noastră" ("Our Language"; Romanian pronunciation: [ˈlimba ˈno̯astrə] ) is the national anthem of Moldova. It has been used since 1994 and was officially adopted on 22 July 1995.[1]
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 (1888–1917) a month before his death.[2] Mateevici contributed significantly to the national emancipation of Bessarabia. The music was composed by Alexandru Cristea.
