National Anthem of BULGARIA - “MILA RODINO“, arranged by Andrey Shilov

“Mila Rodino“ (Bulgarian: Мила Родино, “Dear Motherland“) is the national anthem of Bulgaria. The song was created by the composer Tsvetan Radoslavov in 1885 after his participation in the Serbo-Bulgarian War. He was inspired to create the song based on his poems when he saw Serbian students singing their own patriotic song on their journey home. It was first printed in 1895 in Part-I of “Music Textbook“ by K. Mahan. “Zdravey!“. The anthem was adopted in 1964. The text has been changed many times, most recently in 1990. On 12 July 1991 the anthem was shortened to its first verse along with the chorus. Between 1886 and 1947, the Bulgarian national anthem was “Shumi Maritsa“; from 1951 to 1964, it was “Balgariyo mila, zemya na geroi“; in the brief period between these two, it was the march “Republiko nasha“. In 1964, before the affirmation of “Mila Rodino“ as the national anthem, the decision met resistance from Petko Stayno
