Trei culori

Trei culori ( German tri-color ) was from 1977, the national anthem of the Socialist Republic of Romania. It replaced Te slăvim, Romanie and was shortly after the 1989 revolution by Desteapta - te, române! replaced.

History

The national anthem is based on a Romanian patriotic song that bears the same title and the same melody (composed by Ciprian Porumbescu ) is sung. The text is but slightly altered.

The title refers to the national flag of Romania is a tricolor, a flag with three colors evenly distributed: red, yellow and blue. Throughout history, this has hardly changed. Only the distribution of colors (ratios and position) have varied. The tricolor was used in reference to the French Revolution after the unsuccessful Romanian Revolution of 1848, as in some other European countries as well.
