 Mi znamo sudbu/We know our fate
• Mi znamo sudbu i sve što nas čeka,
• We know fate and everything that awaits us,
• No strah nam neće zalediti grudi!
• But fear will not freeze our chests!
• Volovi jaram trpe, a ne ljudi, —
• Bog je slobodu dao za čoveka. • Oxen suffer the yoke, not men,
• God gave freedom for man.
• Snaga je naša planinska reka,
• Nju neće nigde ustaviti niko! • Strength is our mountain river,
• Narod je ovi umirati svikô —
• No one will stop her anywhere!
• U svojoj smrti da nađe leka.
• This people know dying -
• Mi put svoj znamo, put bogočoveka, • And in his death to find a cure.
• I silni, kao planinska reka,
• Svi ćemo poći preko oštra kamâ! • We know our way, the way of the man of God,
• And mighty, like a mountain river,
• Sve tako dalje, tamo, do Golgote,
• We will all go over sharp rocks!
• I kad nam muške uzmete živote,
• Grobovi naši boriće se s vama!
• All the way, there, to Golgotha,
Aleksa Šantić • And when you take our men's lives
• Our graves will fight with you!
