Goga was an active member in the Romanian nationalistic movement in Transylvania and of its leading group, the Romanian National Party (PNR) in Austro-Hungary. Before World War I, Goga was arrested by the Hungarian authorities. At various intervals before the union of Romania and Transylvania in 1918, Goga took refuge in Romania, becoming active in literary and political circles. Because of his political activity in Romania, the Hungarian state sentenced him to death in absentia.
During World War I, he joined the Romanian Army and took part as a soldier in the Dobruja campaign.
In the interwar period he left the PNR to join General Alexandru Averescu's People's Party (PP), a populist movement created upon the war's end.

In the interwar period he left the PNR to join General Alexandru Averescu's People's Party (PP), a populist movement created upon the war's end.
Goga clashed with Averescu over the latter's conflict with King Carol II. A founder of the minor PP splinter group naming itself the National Agrarian Party, he led it into an alliance with A. C. Cuza's National-Christian Defense League, forming the National Christian Party.
Goga became Prime Minister of Romania and served from 28 December 1937 to 10 February 1938. He had been appointed by King Carol, in his attempt to increase his own power. Indeed, Carol wrote in his diary that he knew Goga was a human cipher, and hoped that once his government collapsed, it would free him to seize power for himself.

On 12 January 1938 his government stripped Romanian Jews of their citizenship. Besides being an anti-Semite himself, Goga attempted to outflank the Iron Guard's popular support.
In press interviews at the time he said the following:
The Jewish problem is an old one here, and it is a Romanian tragedy. Briefly, we have far too many Jews.
For us there is only one final solution of the Jewish problem—the collection of all Jews into a region that is still uninhabited, and the foundation there of a Jewish nation. And the further away the better.
After his resignation, Goga withdrew to his estate in Transylvania, where he suffered a stroke on 5 May 1938. He died two days later. ...more

Quotes by Octavian Goga (?)

“Vous auriez moult petits-enfants
Qui vous appelleraient « Pépé »
Vous diriez des contes d'antan…
Avec des dragons et des fées…

[Cîți ai avea azi dumneata
Nepoți, să-ți zică:„Moșu...„
Le-ai spune spuză de povești…
Cu Împăratul Roșu...]

(extrait de Bătrânii, en français par Aurel George Boeșteanu)”

“Mes désirs
Vaines cohortes
Mes désirs
Sont feuilles mortes…
Par le sentier feuilles écrasées, feuilles mortes.

Je cherche en vain
Mes rêves égarés,
Collier brillant au loin,
De perles orné…
Collier merveilleux et perdu, de perles orné.

Tout ce que la nuit a tissé
Se dissipe à l'aube éphémère,
Ma chance s'en est allée…
Plus ne la pleure, mère…
Devant l'icône de la Vierge, plus ne la pleure, mère.

(Cântec V, en français par Aurel George Boeșteanu)”

“Sans patrie

Je suis un homme sans patrie,
Un grain de feu que le vent porte,
Un esclave seul échappé aux fers,
Le plus misérable du monde.
Je suis un mage de la foi nouvelle,
Un pauvre fou aveuglé par un astre,
Qui erre longtemps pour vous apporter
Les contes de son pays.

Je suis la dernière
Des larmes versées depuis mille ans ;
Je suis le rêve qui ressuscite
À l'âtre des orphelins.
Je suis le reproche vagabond
Des parages sans voix
Et d'un monde qui meurt.
Je suis l'ultime cri.

Je suis le soupir qui pleure
Là-bas dans mon village sur la colline.
Je suis le cri trempé dans le sang
De veuves de Transylvanie.
Je suis le messager de l'amour et de la haine,
Quelqu'un qui rêve de victoires,
Et je porte dans la bouche les malédictions
Héritées de mes aïeux.

Je me suis détaché des tombes
Et des cryptes humides et froides
Où les souvenirs veillent
Sur un rêve éternel.
Et avec ce frisson qui tue
Ceux qui ont foi en leurs frères,
J'ai pleuré devant chaque porte
La douleur des morts oubliés.

Je sens aujourd'hui la nuit descendre
Sur mon matin révolu,
Mon chant s'envelopper
Dans le linceul d'un éternel silence…
Éclaboussé de rires et de fange,
Je porte mon fardeau parmi vous ;
Car malheur à qui, perdu son pays,
Doit le mendier de vous...

(traduit du roumain par Alain Bosquet)”
