Vijekovima odavnina | Vijekovima odavnina | ||
Nemirno je oko Knina | |||
Otkad ovaj svijet postoji | |||
Stalno ginu Srbi moji | |||
Preko puta balvan pade | Preko puta balvan pade | ||
Stavili smo barikade | |||
Radili su nama svašta | |||
Više Srbin ne oprašta | |||
Otkad sunce zemlju grije | |||
Otkad troglas stijene vije | |||
Srbi ginu i krv liju | Srbi ginu i krv liju | ||
Drugi pišu istoriju | |||
U životu sve se | U životu sve se mijenja | ||
Osim Srba i kamenja | |||
Dok očima svojim gledam | |||
Knina ne dam, Knina ne dam | Knina ne dam, Knina ne dam | ||

For centuries | For centuries long ago | ||
Restless is the land around Knin | |||
Since the world began | |||
My Serbs have constantly died | |||
Across the way a log fell | Across the way, a log fell | ||
We put up barricades | |||
They did all sorts of things to us | |||
A Serb no longer forgives | |||
Since the sun | Since the sun has warmed the earth | ||
Since the cliffs echoed with song | |||
Serbs | Serbs have died and shed blood | ||
Others write the history | |||
In life, everything changes | In life, everything changes | ||
Except Serbs and stones | |||
as I | As long as I see with my own eyes | ||
I | I won’t give up Knin, I won’t give up Knin | ||
