RESPECT DIASPORA

Romania, my dear, I know it's very hard for you
Like other Romanians, I also left
I left, like everyone else, for a slightly better life
But my soul cries because you're becoming ruins

Romania, my dear, you used to be very rich
But now I regret that you're pawned
From a country with a reputation, respected by all
You've now become an abandoned treasure

No one cares anymore about those who fought
Left their families, died, won
You were very loved by our ancestors
It's a shame that now you're being sold, mercilessly, by thieves

You've destroyed families, dreams, sent us all away
Don't forget that you'll pay for all of this in installments
You manipulated the elderly, promised them only lies
That's how you won votes and became masters

You've put us in debt, driven us out of our own country
We've now become summer visitors
You've insulted us, humiliated us, made us a laughingstock in the world
In the eyes of others, we have no good qualities

May it remain in your conscience that you've destroyed a whole country
You've forgotten their goods, Eminescu and Creangă
Don't be afraid, our dears, we'll laugh the best
When we all join hands, we'll pull the country out of ruins

Let's love it, let it flourish, let's take care of it
Under our eyes, let it grow, let's shout our victory
Greetings to those in London, I know life is hard
To be very far away and at the mercy of others

Greetings to Germany, it's not easy there either
To carry the great emptiness, called longing, at all times
Denmark, Spain, the Netherlands, they work whether they want to or not
No one should complain that their hands hurt

Respect the diaspora, I know you're a fighter
Always among strangers, you feel like in a prison
That you're a slave and humiliated in someone else's country
And you can't be Romanian, in your own Romania

Hope still exists in the new generation
Educate yourself, learn, 'let's care'
Let's bring color back to this country
To evolve, to grow, to be victorious!

Romania, my dear, my soul's country
With a trembling voice, I pour my heart out in song
I want to awaken a fighting spirit in everyone
To save the treasure that has long been corrupted
