Lijepa naša domovino,
Our beautiful homeland,
Oj junačka zemljo mila,
Oh dear, heroic land,
Stare slave djedovino,
Fatherland of ancient glory,
Da bi vazda sretna bila!
May you always be happy!
Mila, kano si nam slavna,
Dear, as much as you are glorious,
Mila si nam ti jedina,
Only you are dear to us.
Mila, kuda si nam ravna,
Dear, where your land is flat,
Mila, kuda si planina!
Dear, where it is mountainous.
Teci Savo, Dravo teci,
Flow Sava, Drava flow,
Nit’ti Dunav silu gubi,
Nor you, Danube, lose your power,
Sinje more, svijetu reci,
Azure sea, tell to the world
Da svoj narod Hrvat ljubi.
That a Croat loves his nation.
Dok mu njive sunce grije,
As long as sun warms his ploughed land,
Dok mu hrašće bura vije,
As long as storms lash his oak trees,
Dok mu mrtve grobak krije,
As long as the grave hides his dead,
Dok mu živo srce bije!
As long as his living heart beats!
