Several diplomatic missions in Bucharest celebrated the National Culture Day online, with lyrics by Mihai Eminescu, whose birth, 171 years ago is celebrated on January 15, or with messages in support of the arts sector in general.
The German ambassador to Bucharest, Cord Meier-Klodt, had a more personal message, as he posted a video in which he sang the first lines of Eminescu s poetry Mai am un singur dor [One wish alone have I]. Being a man from northern Germany, I immediately liked this quiet, melancholic, sober and simple atmosphere of this poem and this lied, as we say in German. So I present to you this gesture that is perhaps a little unusual and I hope you receive it with Goodwill and generosity. Happy birthday in memory of the great poet Mihai Eminescu, happy birthday, Romanian culture!, said the Ambassador in his message, in Romanian.
