Abrud

Abrud (Latin: Abruttus;Hungarian: Abrudbánya; German: Großschlatten) is a town in the north-western part of Alba County, Transylvania, Romania, located on the river Abrud. It administers three villages: Abrud-Sat (Abrudfalva), Gura Cornei (Szarvaspataktorka) and Soharu (Szuhár).

Population

According to the census from 2011 there was a total population of 4,944 people living in this commune. Of this population, 96.66% are ethnic Romanians, 0.86% are ethnic Hungarians and 0.53% ethnic Romani.

History

Although first recorded only in 1271 in the form terra Obruth, the name of the town might have derived from a supposed (not attested) Dacian word for gold, *obrud. The Romans erected a small fortification here in the 2nd century AD. It was part of the defence system of the gold mines nearby, in "Alburnus Maior" (nowadays, Roşia Montană), but it was abandoned in the 3rd century. The town's modern name reflects a characteristic vowel shift (from o to a) of the medieval Hungarian language.

Abrud gained town status in 1427, during the Middle Ages. In 1727, the leaders of a revolt gained control of the town. Another serfs' revolt began in the area in 1784 with Horea, Cloşca and Crişan as leaders fighting the Austrian Imperial forces, Abrud being captured by the uprising's members on 6 November, before the revolt was crushed by the Austrian army.

Abrud (river)

The Abrud (Hungarian: Abrud-patak) is a small river in the Apuseni Mountains, Alba County, western Romania. It is a right tributary of the river Arieş. It flows through the town Abrud, and joins the Arieș near Câmpeni. It is fed by several smaller streams, including Izbicioara, Cerniţa, Valea Albă, Pârâul Buciumanilor, Abruzel and Roșia.

    Well I looked out of my window this morning
    and I saw the strangest thing
    Everyone was walking on water and dancing in the rain
    Oh darlin' I got so jealous
    Just wishin' you were here with me
    And I saw the prettiest people
    They were kissing in the street
    They didn't care who was watching
    In the middle of the street
    Didn't care who was watching
    Well I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
    And I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
    And I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
    Raining on me and I'm waiting on you
    Just sitting here watching the weather
    And I can feel the air is getting colder
    They say sometimes the sunshine of a party
    She's the first one to go she doesnt give any warning
    She just gets up and goes she doesnt give any warning
    I can see blue in the sky when its raining
    And I can see blue in the sky when its raining
    And I can see blue in the sky when its raining
    Raining on me and I'm waiting on you
    Oh, no no no no
    Oh what would you do if I showed up
    Oh at your doorstep just ready to go
    Would you send me away
    Or would you come out and play
    It's just a little bit of rain and I'm leaving today
    It's just a little bit of rain and I'm leaving today
    'Cause I can see blue in the sky when its raining
    And I can see blue in the sky when its raining
    And I can see blue in the sky when its raining
    Raining on me and I'm waiting on you
    Oh I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
    Oh I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
    Oh I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
    Raining on me and I'm waiting on you
    Oh I can see you, no I can see you
    Oh I can see you, no I can see you
    Oh I can see you, no I can see you
    Oh I can see you you you you.
    And I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
    And I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
    And I can see you in my eyes when it's raining
