National Anthem

The National Anthem of the Republic of Bulgaria is the song Mila Rodino [O Motherland Most Dear].

O Motherland Most Dear

The proud old Balkan Range,
Above the Danube blue,
The sun is bright on Thrace
It smiles on Pirin too.

Chorus:

O Motherland most dear,
You, paradise on earth,
Your beauty, your glory
Are endless in their birth!

Translated by Nikola Roussanoff and John Robert Colombo

The Bulgarian National Anthem is based on a tune and lyrics written by Tsvetan Radoslavov in 1885. He composed them on his way to the battlefield during the Serb-Bulgarian War.
O Motherland Most Dear was adopted as Bulgaria's National Anthem in 1964. The words have been revised repeatedly, last in 1990.
