- Anthem Lyrics
Hej Sloveni Hej Sloveni, još 'te živi duh naših dedova, dok za narod srce bije njihovih sinova. Živi, živi duh slovenski živet ce vekov'ma zalud preti ponor pakla zalud vatra groma. Nek se sada i nad nama burom sve raznese stena puca, dub se lama, zemlja nek se trese. Mi stojimo postojano kano klisurine proklet bio izdajica svoje domovine.
- Anthem Lyrics English
O, Slavs, there still lives Word of our grandfathers While for the people heart strikes Of their sons Live, live, spirit Slavic You will live for centuries Futile is the Hell's abyss Futile is the fire of thunder Even if now there above us Storm shatters everything Stone breaks, tree shatters Earth quakes We stand steadily As river gorges Damned be the traitor Of his homeland!
