Oj, svijetla majska zoro ("Oh, bright dawn of May") is the anthem of Montenegro. Before becoming the anthem, ti was a popular folk song of Montenegrins, with many variations. The anthem is criticised on the base that its lyrics are made by the Nazi de facto President of the italian-controlled puppet state of Montenegro, Sekula Drljevic.

Ој свијетла мајска зоро Волимо вас, брда тврда, Док ловћенској нашој мисли Ријека ће наших вала, |
Oj svijetla majska zoro Volimo vas, brda tvrda, Dok lovćenskoj našoj misli Rijeka će naših vala, |
O, bright dawn of May We love you, the rocky hills While our unity gives wings A river of our waves, |

1. Sinovi smo tvog stijenja Volimo vas, brda tvrda, Majko naša Crna Goro 2. Dok lovćenskoj našoj misli Rijeka će naših vala Glas nositi okeanu Da je vječna Crna Gora |
