Deșteaptă-te, române, din somnul cel de moarte,
By Nathan Jackson July 22 2008
It's a long time since I've been excited by a trialist. Trialists usually turn out to be a complete pile of toss, not like that stopped Keith Alexander from signing some of them, the words "Rory" and "May" coming to mind. However, Adrian Patuela has certainly caught my attention after an impressive scoring run in the friendlies.

City travelled to Retford United on Tuesday night and the youthful Imps side won 3-2. City went 3-0 up thanks to a goal from Adrian Patuela, scoring his fourth goal in less than 90 minutes of wearing the Imps shirt over the last few days. He's certainly doing a good job in trying to convince the Imps fans that he is worth giving a deal to.

Peter Jackson has also confirmed his interest in the striker. Any deal is likely to be a loan deal because of Adrian's international status, but the Dimitar Berbatov lookalike certainly looks like an exciting prospect for next season.

Out of the three strikers who are on trial, he is the most likely to be brought in on some sort of deal. Dean Barnes is certainly ambitious, that situation is like something out of Dream Team. As for Sam Mullarkey, I still stand by saying that he is not good enough, and that's not because of his off the field attitude. I've seen Mullarkey play several times for Lincoln United and he struggled to make an consistant impact in a division three leagues below League Two.

City's next friendly sees them travel to Farsley Celtic on Saturday afternoon. All three strikers are expected to play.

bojang looked out of place, and seeing as jacko has said he wont be playing again he wasn't impressed either.

and gaz if he signs and scores in the league then i'll admit i'm wrong.

I'm presuming its Romanian, I'm no expert, but I reckon that moarte is something to do with death.

It's part of the Romanian national anthem and translates as

Wake Up, Romanian, from your deadling sleep.

Infact, their national anthem makes ours look timid

Wake up, Romanian, from your deadly sleep
Into which you've been sunk by the barbaric tyrants
Now, or never, your fate renew,
To which your enemies will bow too.
2
Now or never let's give proof in the world
That in these veins still flows a Roman blood,
That in our chests we still maintain our pride in a name
The victor in his battles, the name of Trajan![3]
3
Raise your broad forehead and look around you
Like fir trees, hundreds of thousands of heroes are standing firm;
A voice they still wait to jump like wolves among the sheep,
Elders, men, youths, boys, from mountains to the plains.
4
Watch on, shadows of highnesses, Mihai, Stefan, Corvinus,[4]
The Romanian Nation, your great grandchildren,
With weapons in their arms, with your fire in their veins,
"Life in freedom or death!" shout all.
5
You were vanquished by the evils of your envy
And by your blind disunity, at Milcov and the Carpathians
But we, whose souls were pierced by holy liberty,
Swear that for ever in brotherhood will join.
6
A widowed mother from the time of Michael the Great[5]
Claims from her sons today a helping hand,
Casting curses, with tears in her eyes, on whosoever,
In such great peril, a traitor would become.
7
Of thunder and of brimstone should they perish
Those who flee our glorious endeavor
When our land, our mother with tears in her heart,
Will ask us to cross through swords and blazing fire.
8
Didn't we have enough of the yatagan of the barbaric crescent[6]
Whose fatal wounds even today we still feel?
Now the knout[7] is intruding our ancestral homes,
But we give witness before the Lord that alive, we do not accept it
9
Didn't we have enough of the blinded despotism
Whose yoke, like cattle, for centuries we've carried?
Now let the cruel ones try, in their blind arrogance,
T o take away our language, but give it we will only deads!
10
Romanians from the four corners, now or never
Unite in thought, unite in feeling
Proclaim to the wide world that the Danube is stolen
Through intrigue and , sly machinations.
11
Priests, lead with your crucifixes! Because our army is Christian,
The motto is Liberty and its goal is holy,
Better to die in battle, in full glory,
Than to once again be slaves upon our ancient ground!
