Mila Rodino

Helping orphans the way you would do it
Mila Rodino (Dear Motherland) is the national anthem of Bulgaria. It was written and composed by Tsvetan Tsvetkov Radoslavov as he left to fight in the Serbo-Bulgarian War in 1885. The anthem was adopted in 1964.

Мила родино 
         
 Горда Стара планина,


           до ней Дунава синей,


           слънце Тракия огрява,


           над Пирина пламеней.


                 
 Припев:


           Мила 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.

Mila Rodino

Gorda Stara planina,
do nei Dunava sinei,
slunce Trakia ogriava,
nad Pirina plamenei,

Pripev:
Mila Rodino,
ti si zemen rai,
tvoita hubost, tvoita prelest,
ah, te niamat krai.

Padnaha borci bezchet
za naroda nash liubim,
maiko, dai ni muzhka sila
putia im da produlzhim.
Dear native land 
         
 Proud Balkan mountains,


           next to them the Danube flows,


           the sun sheds its light over Thrace,


           shining over Pirin.


                 
 Chorus:


           Dear native land,


           you are paradise on earth,


           your beauty and your charm,


           ah, they never end.


                 


                 Many fighters gave their life


           for our dear nation,


           Mother, give us strength


           to follow in their steps.
