Encyclopedic overview
"Mila Rodino" (Bulgarian: Мила Родино, IPA: [ˈmiɫɐ ˈrɔdino]; lit. 'Dear Motherland') is the national anthem of Bulgaria. It was composed and written by Tsvetan Radoslavov as he left to fight in the Serbo-Bulgarian War in 1885. It was adopted in 1964. Its lyrics have 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, "Šumi Marica" was used as the Bulgarian national anthem; between 1947 and 1951, the march "Republiko naša, zdravej!" was used and from 1951 to 1964, "Bǎlgarijo Mila" was used.
