Glasna, jasna od pameti, Preko dola, preko gora, Hrvatska nam pjesma leti, Sve do našeg sinjeg mora, Čas je meka, čas ko grom, Vječna jeka za naš dom. Hajdemo, hajdemo, Brate moj, brate moj!
Hrvatskom se opet ori, Pjesma naših velikana, U njoj vječnom vatrom gori Slava Zrinskih-Frankopana. Čas je meka, čas ko grom, Vječna jeka za naš dom. Hajdemo, hajdemo, Brate moj, brate moj! |
Loud, clear since immemorial, Over lowlands, over hills, The Croatian song flies to us, All the way to the deep sea, At times soft, at times like thunder, Eternal echo for our home. Let's go, let's go, My brother, my brother!
It resounds across Croatia, The song of our great men, In it burns the eternal flame Of the glory of Zrinski Zrinski The Zrinski family was a Croatian noble family, influential during the period in history marked by the Ottoman wars in Europe in the Kingdom of Croatia and Hungary and in the later Austro-Hungarian Empire... -Frankopan Frankopan The Frankopans are a Croatian noble family.

At times soft, at times like thunder, Eternal echo for our home. Let's go, let's go, My brother, my brother! |
