You'll Never Walk Alone

No comment.

When you walk through a storm hold your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone!

Universitatea Craiova's anthem

The lyrics:

Ţinem cu echipa noastră
Şi la bine, şi la greu,
O iubire alb-albastră
La Craiova e mereu,
O iubire alb-albastră
La Craiova e mereu,

Cîntaţi şi voi, cîntaţi cu noi
Să-i încurajăm într-una
Pe cei buni, şi întotdeauna
Alb-albaştrii să fie cei buni

Refren:
Hai, Craiova! Hai, studenţii!
Sîntem toţi cu voi pînă la sfîrşit,
Hai, Craiova! Hai, băieţii
Cu oltenii nu e de glumit.

Rîde soarele-n fereastră
Duce vîntul din Craiova,
O iubire alb-albastră
Spre Ardeal şi spre Moldova.
O iubire alb-albastră
Spre Ardeal şi spre Moldova.
