?FALCONS OF THE COUNTRY? We were made falcons of the country in kindergarten. Serving the country had to start as early as possible. Those who did not attend kindergarten were made pioneers. The uniform was blue with orange. The country?s falcons under the sun You raise us and teach us To love ardently Your dawn Rising triumphantly In your garden From early age We are your children You, serene country, We?re your valiant young men. Stanza 1: We are the buds Of the ancient tree We are the children of the country On Romanian legendary land. We are the future And in the country we are building In the flight to tomorrow We?ll be like falcons. Refrain: The country?s falcons/We?ll fly towards the light/The country?s falcons/To you, my country. Stanza 2: Completely lost in the mist of my mind. (C. V., 97) |
