Lyrics: "Lijepa nasa domovino"

Lijepa naša domovino -- [Our beautiful homeland]
Oj junačka zemljo mila -- [O dear heroic land]
Stare slave djedovino -- [Our fathers' ancient glory]
Da bi vazda sretna bila -- [May you be blessed forever]

Mila, kano si nam slavna -- [Beloved, you are our sole glory]
Mila si nam ti jedina -- [Beloved, you are our only one]
Mila, kuda si nam ravna -- [Beloved, where you are plain]
Mila, kuda si planina -- [Beloved, where you are mountainous] *

Teci Savo, Dravo teci -- [Sava, Drava, flow on]
Nit' ti Dunav silu gubi -- [Nor you, Danube, lose your power]
Sinje more svijetu reci -- [Deep blue sea, tell the world]
Da svoj narod Hrvat ljubi -- [That a Croat loves his people]

Dok mu njive sunce grije -- [Whilst the sun warms his fields]
Dok mu hrašće bura vije -- [Whilst stormy winds lash his oak trees]
Dok mu mrtve grobak krije -- [Whilst his lost ones a grave covers]
Dok mu živo srce bije -- [Whilst his living heart beats]
