- Trăiască Regele
- În pace şi onor
- De ţară iubitor
- Şi-apărător de ţară.
- Fie Domn glorios
- Fie peste noi,
- Fie-n veci norocos
- În război.
- O! Doamne Sfinte,
- Ceresc părinte,
- Susţine cu a Ta mână
- Coroana Română!
- Trăiască Patria
- Cât soarele ceresc,
- Rai vesel pământesc
- Cu mare, falnic nume.
- Fie-n veci el ferit
- De nevoi,
- Fie-n veci locuit
- De eroi.
- O! Doamne Sfinte,
- Ceresc Părinte,
- Întinde a Ta mână
- Pe Ţara Română!
