Albania: National Flag
Himni i Flamurit
Hymn to the Flag
“Himni i Flamurit” (transl. ”Hymn to the Flag”) is the national anthem of Albania, adopted in 1912. Its music is derived from the Romanian patriotic song “Pe-al nostru steag e scris Unire”, composed by Ciprian Porumbescu. The lyrics, which are close to the original Romanian lyrics, were written by Albanian poet Asdreni. The anthem was originally titled “Betimi mbi Flamur” (“The Pledge on the Flag”).
