Lyrics
Cyrillic lyricsОј свијетла мајска зоро Мајко наша Црна Горо Синови смо твог стијења И чувари твог поштења Волимо вас, брда тврда, И стравичне ваше кланце Који никад не познаше Срамотнога ропства ланце. Док ловћенској нашој мисли Наша слога даје крила, Биће горда, биће славна Домовина наша мила. Ријека ће наших вала, Ускачући у два мора, Глас носити океану, Да је вјечна Црна Гора.
|
Latin LyricsOj svijetla majska zoro, Majko naša Crna Goro, Sinovi smo tvog stijenja I čuvari tvog poštenja. Volimo vas, brda tvrda, I stravične vaše klance Koji nikad ne poznaše Sramotnoga ropstva lance. Dok lovćenskoj našoj misli Naša sloga daje krila, Biće gorda, biće slavna Domovina naša mila. Rijeka će naših vala, Uskačući u dva mora, Glas nositi okeanu, Da je vječna Crna Gora!

TranslationOh, bright dawn of May Our mother Montenegro We are sons of your rocks and keepers of your honesty We love you, the rocky hills And your awesome gorges That never came to know The chains of shameful slavery. While our unity gives wings to our Lovćen cause Proud shall be, celebrated will be Our dear homeland. A river of our waves, Jumping into two seas, Will bear voice to the ocean, May eternal be our Montenegro! |
