Although this song is now commonly associated to the Anti-Communist Revolution in Romania. This song was actual created during the Communist era as a patriotic song.
@@hamperfranklin9994 Participation in the cult of personality around Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu was basically mandatory during the period of his rule. It was basically impossible to not be any kind of a popular artist or musician who *didn't* openly praise Ceaușescu. You would probably be hard-pressed to find any reasonably popular Romanian musician of the pre-1989 period who didn't in some way glorify Ceaușescu and his rule because it was literally required and the consequences for disobedience were severe. I don't really know enough about Nicu Alifantis to say for sure whether or not he had any sincere sympathies towards Ceaușescu but I do think we need to point out that if you are anything approaching a prominent cultural figure in a regime like that, you do not have a choice about getting involved in the regime's cult of personality. And honestly, all that aside, there's a phrase called "death of the author": even if the song was explicitly and intentionally written to praise Ceaușescu, it's very obvious that its meaning and use has broadly shifted away from its origins to become an explicitly anti-Ceaușescu song.
@@HellqueenRoz agreed, there was a Georgian author who always faked being alcoholic to write poems in the way that he wanted, without communists influencing his work... he got caught once and he was ASKED to write a poem that would glorify the regime and that's the only poem that he has that glorifies anything that is related to politics. as such, because we only have 1 poem about his 'views' of politics that doesn't mean that he was a communist, as poets were great propaganda tool and communists always tried to use them to glorify death and decay
In Greek the name of the cloth cap, like the one worn by Cillian Murphy in "Peaky Blinders" is called τραγιάσκα, pronounced /tra'jaska/ and it's taken fron Romanian. The story goes that we identified the name of the cap with the Romanian interjection, because the Romanians accompanied their cry with the throwing of their caps in the air (a phenomenon called metonymy in linguistics)
I live in Birmingham small heath were peacky blinders is made people love peacky blinders here its our culture gangsters still are our culture in Birmingham the old gangsters with tommy guns and peacky caps are liked by the gangsters now

@@michaelvonbiskhoff7771 Marxists from the Communist Party were the first to critique Ceaușescu. It was not against the 'communist state' (which no socialist state has ever claimed to be) but rather the ineffective governance of the inner circle of the party.
RIP my former violin teacher He was Romanian. Trăiască România! edit: Thank you for 1.2k likes. It feels very warm knowing that this many people, and maybe many more, are kind enough to remember a good Romanian man.
It's funny how I, a Portuguese speaker, can understand parts of the music in Romanian, without ever having spoken Romanian, really the Latin historical origin is very evident
Lol all of the Latin languages are not mixes, they just evolved differently, same for English, but English is more of an evolved Germanic language mixed with a lot of french
@@Sanzianabel Historical Romanian derived from the same source like Latin, both are indo-european languages. Romanian is a "descendant" of the ancient languages spoken by the Dacians, Thracians, Getae etc. The modern Romanian you see *today* is mostly based on Latin last but this change only happened a few centuries ago. Until then Romanian wasn't even written in the Latin alphabet.
@@jwoejesplasj7729 wrong. It happens that I spent years and health in archives during university, romanian hasnt changed so much since hundred of years, whenever I managed to read old slavonic that was administrative lingua franca back in middle ages up until we switched to latin script, I read in romanian. Stop these non senses Im tired to see people speaking crap
@@dreacul You don't really disprove anything of what I said. I said Romanian originally formed from the nattive languages spoken in Geto-Dacia, and only a few centuries ago it was highly "latinized". Only a small percentage of the whole language is based from latin, and these are the words that are mostly used nowadays. There are thousands upon thousands of archaisms and regionalisms and generally old words not much used anymore that have nothing to do with latin. You might still find them in dedicated dictionaires. Then crap is what you are being taught in university. There are researchers in all the so called "latin languages" who prove that Romanian, Spanish, French etc. do not originate in Latin. All evolved from the native languages spoken on their lands in the ancient times. If you can read in Romanian then look for the works of Mihai Vinereanu, who has proven that Romanian originally was not a latin language. Then if you, understand spoken Romanian, look up for the youtube channel Daniel Roxin, that man has dedicated his whole life in undigging the origins of Romanian and has many interviews with researchers and experts in the field. University knowledge goes as far as what the government in your country wants you to know, and this applies to most fields, not only history of languages or what have you studied. Look up for independent research of experts who are not very much appreciated by media or in generally not very appreciated for their work that goes against the official naratives we are being taught.

Felt so proud when romanian firefighters been welcomed with so much love and brotherhood by greeks. There is something between us, a nice connection that goes millenias back.
@@justreviveleninok8728 I got that it's a joke username, I just found it so ironic that someone with the username "just revive lenin ok?" would say "it's just beautiful" when it comes to an anti communist song. Funny, nothing more Anyway man, peace and respect!
@@justreviveleninok8728 Ironically if Lenin were to come back alive he would die soon after seeing what Stalin did to his little revolution and lets not forget about modern "communists".
As a Romanian I was overwhelmed by the number of countries sending us the best wishes. I counted over 60 countries. From Panama To Finland, from Colombia to Vietnam. From Buenos Aires to Athens. Unbelievable! Love you all xx
@@ribez4945 yes both of you managed to fight a war against a country that didn't hava an army after fighting a long war. And the Austrians and us fucked you in 1916 but you're not used to say that as well. And i'm very sad that there are some stupid idiots in the commentsection of a basically peaceful song without hate.
Greeting to our Dacian brothers from Italy Also i like how Romanian menaged to combine Romance and Slavic words without messing it up(not like English)

It is a Latin language that is old from the Roman Empire times. Heavy with Portuguese, French, and Italian words. Also some Spanish but more Portuguese in the language with slavic as well.
@@bucurescu. Oh really? How do you know that? I am Portuguese and I definitely can understand some Romanian. It does have Portuguese words in common. All romance languages are embedded with a mixture of each other’s language. Sometimes even Portuguese accent from Portugal 🇵🇹 can sound Romanian. Portuguese: Eu sou Portuguesa . Romanian: Eu sunt Portugheză. Portuguese: Está doer Română: Stă doare ( It is hurting ) Portuguese: Meu dor 🤕 ( My pain) Română: Meu dor ( 🤒) my longing for or missing someone) Portuguese : Vai haver ( Va avea) una autoestrada. 🛣️ Română: Vă aveam una autostradă 🛣️.

Română: Pâine 🥖 Portugheză: pão 🥖 Spanish: pan 🥖 Portuguese : Meu filho 👦 Română : fiu meu ( My son ) 👦 Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and Romanian : “ casa 🏠 verde “ ( green house) French : Maison vert Portuguese: ajudar-me por favor Română: ajută-mi vă rog 🙏 Portugheză: we say “ Rogai por nós meu Senhor “ when we pray 🙏. And prayer is to ask “ Please” Portuguese: Tu es parte de minha família. Română : Tu ești partea de familia mea. Spanish: Tu eres parte de mi familia. Portuguese: Da-me um abraço 🤗 Română: Dă-mi un braț ( Give me a hug 🤗) Sorry Română : Îmi pare rău 😪 eu nu ști cum să scriu “ hug 🤗 “ în limba română. 😂😂😂😂😂 Română: Foarte bine 👍 Português: Forte 💪 bem 😂😂😂 ( We say “muito bem “ for very good ) Română: Soacra mea PORTUGUESE : Minha sogra ( My mother in law) Portuguese: Minha nora Română: Nora mea ( My daughter in law) Portuguese: Com um quilo de carne 🍖 não 👎 mores de fome. Romana: Cu un kilo de carne 🍖 nu 👎 moare de foame. ( Incrível como é igual 🟰) egalează cu limba Portugheză! Portuguese: Lume 🔥 Română : Lume 🌎 + 🔥 Spanish, Italian, Romanian : Luna 🌗🌙 Portuguese: Lua 🌓 French: Lune 🌓 Portuguese : Onde tu fostes ? Română : Unde ai fost tu ? (This phrase and words are exclusively Portuguese and Romanian) Portuguese and Spanish: Comida 🥘 está em a mesa. Romanian: Mâncare 🥘 stă în masă 🍽️. ( The food 🥘 is on the table ). Portuguese: A casa 🏠 arde fogo 🔥. Română : O casă 🏠 arde 🔥 focul. 😂😂😂 My dear friend, think again what you are saying! Romanian has a lot to do with Spanish and Portuguese phrases and words more than the French! Romanian sometimes to most, follows more Portuguese! I know because I can understand some Romanian! The house is burning 🔥
@@bucurescu. Sorry I forgot other similar words and phrases between Portuguese and Romanian: Română: Tu si eu Portuguese: Tu e eu (You and me) Portuguese: Dois 2️⃣, duas ( feminina) Română: doi 2️⃣, două Portuguese and Spanish: hora Romanian and Italian : Ora ( hour) Portuguese and Spanish doesn’t pronounce the “h” Spanish and Portuguese are twin languages just like Italian and Romanian lol 😂 but ironically, Romanian does follow more Portuguese with their language than Spanish I notice lol 😂! Portuguese: Ano de liceu Română: Ani de liceu 🏫 ( The spelling and phrase exclusively between Portuguese and Romanian 😂😂😂) The computer 🖥️ screen only said together near or same : Portuguese ,French, and Romanian: Portuguese: ecrã 📺 Română : ecran 📺 French: écran 📺 Română : Ce face Português: O que fazes ( What are you doing ?) Also I believe that in Romanian it means “ How are you doing ?” In both Spanish and Portuguese is “ Como estás ?” As if you would say in Romanian : Cum stă ?” 😂😂😂😂 Portuguese : Formosa 🥰 Romanian: frumoasă😍 ( Only exists between Portuguese and Romanian ). Portuguese: gostosa Romanian: gustoasă ( Only exclusively between Portuguese and Romanian and the same pronunciation) Portuguese: Amorosa 🥰 Română : Amoroasă 🥰 Portugheză: A vaca 🐮 da mulher 👩 Română: A vacă 🐮 de muiere 👩 😂😂😂😂😂 Portuguese: O homem 👨 nasce e o homem 👨 morre Língua Romana: ( said in Portuguese) “Omule nașe și omul moare “ 👍 Sounds like Portuguese for sure 👍 Portuguese : Eu creio que os Romanos falam mais ➕ a língua 😛 Portuguesa de que as outras linguagens. I will try my best to write ✍️ ( escrever ✍️) in Romanian 😂😂 “ Eu cred că limba Română vorbesc mai bine îl limbă Portugheză de ce îl alte limbi Latina. E adevărat!! 😂😂😂( E verdade em Português) 😂😂😂
@@bucurescu. Please research more into Romanian. It is one of the younger Romance languages that does have some Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Italian mixed in with other “loaned languages from Eastern influences.” The Roman Emperor, Trajan, who conquered the Dacian tribes was from the Iberian Peninsula ( Now Spain and Portugal). So of course Romanian will have some to a lot of similarities with Spanish and Portuguese languages. When I do hear some Romanian, I can understand a little to a lot. It does sound Portuguese when speaking and pronouncing Romanian words! 😃I can tell because my parents are from Portugal 🇵🇹.
The Romanian love for Bulgaria is obvious, isn't it? We're always in Bulgaria during the Summer at the golden sands, aren't we? (I am just joking, but seriously, love Bulgaria from Romania)

Man, this song talks about thieves of work. Translating from the " Communist language, it means entrepreneurs. LMFAO, this song approves the legitimacy of Surplus Value Theory. Or, if you're a Communist, I understand.
@@grunemusk6371It’s easy, VPN. they can use insta, Facebook etc. the government in China don’t give a crap about it. It’s more a propaganda move, in reality they know everyone use this apps with the vpn anyway. Similar how people in communist Romania use to listen Free Europe radio despite it was forbidden or read books and watch movies that they been forbidden. No matter the dictatorship, they will always fail to control 100% everything and they don’t even try because that will end their rule for sure. There are limits even for dictatorship systems.
