Anthem Dear MotherlandProud Stara Planina,next to it the Danube sparkles,the sun shines over Thrace,and blazes over the Pirin.

Refrain: (twice)Dear Motherland,you are heaven on earth,your beauty, your loveliness,ah, they are boundless.Countless fighters died,for our beloved nation,mother, give us manly strengthto continue their path.*
