Lyrics
Lyrics:
Ko je Srbin i srpskoga roda, a ne poÅ¡'o u boj za spas srpstva, ne imao od srca poroda, ni muÅ¡koga, ni djevojaÄkoga. Od ruke mu niÅ¡ta ne rodilo. Rujno vino ni pÅ¡enica bijela. Krsta mu se niÅ¡ta ne krstilo. RÄom kap'o dok mu je koljena. Borba Äasna, zlu krv neka mijenja. Za buduÄnost sviju pokoljenja zaklinem se sa tri prsta za ovoga svetog krsta. Život dajem za spas srpstva.
Lyrics(English):
Whoever is Serb, of Serbian lineage, and did not go to fight for the salvation of serbdom, may his heart bear no seed, no name, neither son nor daughter born to his shame. From his hand let nothing living shine, no red wine flow, no white grain fine. May nothing be blessed with a cross for him. Let rust drip down through all his kin. Honorable battle, may evil blood be traded. For the future of all generations, I swear with three fingers by this holy cross. I give my life for the salvation of Serbdom.
