What's the title of Bulgaria's national anthem?

on Nov 2, 2026

Bulgaria’s national anthem was written by Tzvetan Radoslavov (1863-1931). The original words and music were composed by Radoslavov while he was still a student in 1885 and on his way to fight in the Serbo-Bulgarian War. The song quickly became popular. It was arranged as the National Anthem, replacing the previous Republican Anthem in 1964. Both words and music have been revised many times since 1885. At present, the anthem has no title.
