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, |
