Trei culori (Three colours; Romanian:
"Trei culori" is based on a Romanian patriotic song written and composed by
The title refers to the national flag of Romania, which is a blue-yellow-red tricolour. It has not undergone major changes. Only the distribution of the colors (in point of proportion and position) was changed to a certain extent, being made equal after the abortive Romanian revolution of 1848. The Romanian principalities were among the many European states during that time that were inspired by the French revolutionary spirit to make a dimensionally standardized tricolour banner as their national flag.
The song continued as the national anthem for around a month after the overthrow of the Socialist Republic,[1][2] but with Porumbescu's original patriotic lyrics.
