==Music and lyrics==<br />
The speaker of this song tells why he cannot leave his homeland as it is worth more than tangible riches like gold coins (ducats) and treasure. The mention of the history of hardship within this land along with the fact that his family lives there gives the speaker more reasons to stay.<br />

<poem><br />
Neću, neću u tuđinu<br />
Neću blago ni dukate<br />
Da napustim rodnu grudu<br />
Nema blaga da mi plate<br />
<br />
Tu me majka rodila<br />
Tu me mlekom dojila<br />
Kolevka je ovo moja<br />
Zemlja mojih pradedova<br />
<br />
Nekad, Nekad živelo se<br />
Ljudi kažu mnogo teže<br />
Al' nevolja znaj još jače<br />
Da za rodnu grudu veže<br />
<br />
Tu me majka rodila<br />
Tu me mlekom dojila<br />
Kolevka je ovo moja<br />
Zemlja mojih pradedova<br />
<br />
Volim, volim ovo zemlju<br />
Jer tu žive mili moji<br />
I za mene osim ove<br />
Druga zemlja ne postoji<br />
<br />
Tu me majka rodila<br />
Tu me mlekom dojila<br />
Kolevka je ovo moja<br />
Zemlja mojih pradedova<br />

===Lyrics (English):===<br />
<poem lang="en"><br />
I won't go abroad<br />
I don't want treasure or ducats<br />
To abandon my homeland<br />
There is no treasure they can pay me<br />
<br />
There my mother gave birth to me<br />
There she nursed me with milk<br />
This cradle of mine<br />
The land of my great-grandfathers<br />
<br />
"In the past" people said<br />
"Living was more difficult"<br />
But trouble is known to be stronger<br />
That it binds one to the homeland<br />
<br />
There my mother gave birth to me<br />
There she nursed me with milk<br />
This cradle of mine<br />
The land of my great-grandfathers<br />
<br />
I love this land<br />
Because my dear ones live here<br />
Apart from this one<br />
No other country exists for me<br />
<br />
There my mother gave birth to me<br />
There she nursed me with milk<br />
This cradle of mine<br />
The land of my great-grandfathers<br />
