Lyrics
Lyrics:
Od Kosova na ovamo, nema ništa novo,
Zna se šta je naše, a šta je njihovo.
Gdje cvjetaju božuri, prvo srpsko cvijeće,
Tu ljiljani nikada procvjetati neće.
Tamo gdje su crkve, manastiri sveti,
Tamo sam se rodio, tamo ću umrijeti.
Gdje cvjetaju božuri, prvo srpsko cvijeće,
Tu ljiljani nikada procvjetati neće.
Nikad ime svoje, mi nećemo dati,
Srbin gdje je rođen, tu će i ostati.
Gdje cvjetaju božuri, prvo srpsko cvijeće,
Tu ljiljani nikada procvjetati neće.

Lyrics (English):
From Kosovo onward, nothing is new,
It is known what is ours and what is theirs.
Where the peonies bloom, the first Serbian flower,
Lilies will never bloom there.
Where there are churches, holy monasteries,
There I was born, there I will die.
Where the peonies bloom, the first Serbian flower,
Lilies will never bloom there.
We will never give up our name,
Where a Serb is born, there he will stay.
Where the peonies bloom, the first Serbian flower,
Lilies will never bloom there.
