Gone you tyrants of old
From the land where we hear lautari playing
Here in the outfield of Europe
A cry for freedom was heard
Rang out to the world
And we all stood watching
Hold the light
Keep it burning so bright
For the children
Copii Romania
Must they live so long In the shadows
Copii Romania
Will we turn and say
Like many times before
We did not know?
Once there was a proud people
Filled with laughter and song
Could they feel something wrong
Through the air was blowing?
Here by the mighty Karpatii
The fight for freedom began
The fight for life still goes on
But no-one listens any more
Hold the light
Keep it burning so bright
For the children
Copii Romania
Must they live so long In the shadows
Copii Romania
Will we turn and say
Like many times before
We did not know?
Gone you sons of darkness Gone you tyrants of old From the land where we hear lautari playing Here in the outfield of Europe A cry for freedom was heard Rang out to the world And we all stood watching Hold the light Keep it burning so bright For the children Copii Romania Must they live so long In the shadows Copii Romania Will we turn and say Like many times before We did not know? Once there was a proud people Filled with laughter and song Could they feel something wrong Through the air was blowing? Here by the mighty Karpatii The fight for freedom began The fight for life still goes on But no-one listens any more Hold the light Keep it burning so bright For the children Copii Romania Must they live so long In the shadows Copii Romania Will we turn and say Like many times before We did not know?
