   • 1848, Andrei Mureșanu, Deșteaptă te, Române:

     Acum ori niciodată să dăm dovezi în lume
     Că-n aste mâni mai curge un sânge de roman
     Și că-n a noastre piepturi păstrăm cu fală-un nume
     Triumfător în lupte, un nume de Traian.

     Now or never, let us give proof to the world
     That in these veins still courses a Roman blood
     And that in our hearts we hold with pride a name
     Victor in battle, the name of Traian
