| Oj svijetla majska zoroMajko naša Crna Goro
Sinovi smo tvog stijenja I čuvari tvog poštenjaVolimo vas, brda tvrda, I stravične vaše klance Koji nikad ne poznaše Sramotnoga ropstva lance.Dok lovćenskoj našoj misli Naša sloga daje krila, Bit će gorda, bit će slavna Domovina naša mila. Rijeka će naših vala, Uskačući u dva mora, Glas nositi okeanu, Da je vječna Crna Gora. |
In the English translation
| Oh, you bright dawn in May,Our mother Montenegro,
We are sons of your rocks, And guardians of your honesty. We love you, hard mountains, and your dreaded mountain ranges, which have never known the chains of shameful slavery. While our Lovćen’s sense gives wings to Our unity, Will be proud, will be famous Our beloved homeland. The river from our shores, Jumped into two seas, Will carry the voice to the ocean, That Montenegro is eternal. |
