Deșteaptă-te, române!

"Deșteaptă-te, române!" (, meaning "Wake up, Romanians!") is the national anthem of Romania. In the past, it has also been the national anthem of Moldova. This song has been Romania's national anthem since 1990;Vasile Oltean - Imnul Național Deșteaptă-te, române!, Ed. Salco, Brașov, 2005, ISBN 973-87502-1-0 in the past, Romania had used five other anthems under different governments.

History
The name of this song was first "Un răsunet" (meaning "An echo"). The words of the song was written by a poet from the region of Transylvania named Andrei Mureșanu during the Wallachian Revolution of 1848. Later that same year, it was published in a Romanian magazine.https://web.archive.org/web/20120722161704/http://www.muzeulmuresenilor.ro/istorie.htm After hearing about the poem, a composer from the region of Wallachia named Anton Pann made a melody for it. The author Andrei Mureșanu later chose this music for his poem after he asked a church singer named Gheorghe Ucenescu to sing a melody that would fit for his song many times.Cazimir: "Mie îmi place Trăiască Patria! (2011-4-10). Adevărul.

It was sung for the first time in the city of Brașov during the liberal and nationalist revolt, then right after, it became the revolutionary anthem of Romania at the time.

Historical use
In the past, it was the national anthem of the old and short-lived Republic of Moldova from 1991 to 1994 before being replaced with Limba noastră. Between 1917 and 1918, "Deșteaptă-te, române!" was used as the anthem of the short-lived Moldavian Democratic Republic before the region became part of the Kingdom of Romania.Simbolurile Republicii Democratice Moldovenești (1917-1918).

In the past, Romania had been under various regimes and had used a lot of different anthem. First, "Marș triumfal" was used from 1862 to 1884, when Romania was a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire. Then, "Trăiască Regele" was used when Romania became a monarchy, known as the Kingdom of Romania. Then when communism became a part of life in Romania, the anthems "Zdrobite cătușe", "Te slăvim, Românie!", and "Trei culori" were used, in that order. Finally, after communism in Romania came to and, "Deșteaptă-te, române!" became the country's official national anthem, and has been to this day.Cum a devenit "Deșteaptă-te, române!" imnul național al României.
