National Anthem of Bulgaria – Republic of Bulgaria

Bulgaria is the country located in the Southern European continent. Bulgarian is the official language of the country. The currency of Bulgaria is Lev. Sofia is the capital city of Bulgaria. Also, it is the largest city in the country.

“Mila Rodino” is the National Anthem of Bulgaria. The term “Mila Rodino” means “Dear Motherland”. The National Anthem of Bulgaria is derived from the song "Gorda Stara Planina". This original verse of the National Anthem of Bulgaria was written by Tsvetan Radoslavov along with the music composition. This song became the representation of Serbo-Bulgarian war.

However, the lyrics of the present version of the National Anthem of Bulgaria were different from the original version. The lyrics were modified several times. It is in 1990, when the lyrics of the National Anthem of Bulgaria were changed for the last time.

There were different national anthems for the country - “Shumi Maritsa” from 1950 to 1964, “Balgariyo mila, zemya na geroi” for some time and "Republiko nasha, zdravey" for some other time.

Мила Родино

Горда Стара планина,

до ней Дунава синей,

слънце Тракия огрява,

над Пирина пламеней.

Mила Родино,

ти си земен рай,

твойта хубост, твойта прелест,

ах, те нямат край.

Паднаха борци безчет,

за народа наш любим,

майко, дай ни мъжка сила,

пътя им да продължим.*

Дружно, братя българи!

С нас Москва е в мир и в бой!

Партия велика води

нашия победен строй.
