~ Anthem of the Republic of Croatia ~






Hrvatska                            Official English translation
Lijepa naša domovino,        Our beautiful homeland, 
Oj junačka zemljo mila,      Oh dear heroic land,
Stare slave djedovino,        Our father's ancient glory,
Da bi vazda sretna bila!      May you be blessed forever.
Mila, kano si nam slavna,    Beloved, you are our sole glory,
Mila si nam ti jedina.          Beloved, you are our only one,
Mila, kuda si nam ravna,     Beloved, where you are plain,
Mila, kuda si planina!         Beloved, where you are mountain
Teci Savo, Dravo teci,        Drava, Sava, flow on,
Nit' ti Dunav silu gubi,        Nor you Danube, lose your power,
Sinje more svijetu reci,        Deep blue sea, tell the world,
Da svoj narod Hrvat ljubi.   That a Croat loves his people.
Dok mu njive sunce grije,    Whilst the sun warms his fields,
Dok mu hrašće bura vije,     Whilst winds lash his oak trees,
Dok mu mrtve grobak krije,   Whilst his lost ones are with grave covered,
Dok mu živo srce bije!         Whilst his living heart beats.
