Hi, Im looking for information about the national anthem of Moldova.

Who wrote the Moldovan national anthem (lyrics and music)?

When was the national anthem of Moldova officially adopted?

Please add any valuable information like links to anthem’s mp3, video, lyrics, free sheet music etc.

The National anthem of Moldova is “Limba noastra” which means in English “Our Language”.

Our language is a treasure

Buried in the deepest sand,

Chain of precious stones

That scattered all over our ancient land.

 

Our language is flame burning

Amidst brothers, awakened

From a deathly sleep, no warning,

Like the heroes of some legend.

 

A green leaf is our language,

Sounds of everlasting forests,

Gentle Dniester, which in ripples

Carries morning star’s flickers.

 

Our language is sacred language,

Words of homilies of old

Wept and sung perpetually

In the homesteads of our folk.

 

A treasure might one day spring

From the deepest of the sand,

Chain of precious stones

That scattered all over our ancient land.
