Marš na Drinu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marš na Drinu (Serbian Cyrillic: Марш на Дрину; Eng. March on the Drina) is a Serbian patriotic song from World War I.
During World War I, the river Drina (located in Bosnia and Serbia) was the site of a bloody battle between the Serbian and Austro-Hungarian army, the Battle of Cer, from August 16 to August 19, 1914. To honour the bravery of the fallen, the Serbian composer Stanislav Binički composed Marš na Drinu. This song has become a symbol of the bravery of the Serbs during the First World War.

[edit] Serbian
U boj, krenite junaci svi
Kren'te i ne žal'te život svoj
Cer da čuje tvoj, Cer nek vidi boj
A reka Drina slavu hrabrost
I junačku ruku oca, sina.
Poj, poj Drino, vodo hladna ti
Pamti, pričaj kad su padali
Pamti hrabri stroj
Koji je pun ognja, silne snage
Proterao tudjina sa reke naše drage.
Poj, poj Drino, pričaj rodu mi
Kako smo se hrabro borili
Pevao je stroj, vojev'o se boj
Kraj hladne vode
Krv je tekla
Krv je lila
Drinom zbog slobode.
[edit] English (translated)
To battle, go forth you heroes,
Go on and don't regret your lives
May Cer see the front, may Cer hear the battle
and river Drina glory, courage
And heroic hand of father and son!
Sing, sing, Drina - of cold water,
Remember, and tell of the ones that fell,
Remember the brave front,
Which full of fire, mighty force
Expelled the foreigner from our dear river!
Sing, sing, Drina, tell the generations,
How we bravely fought,
The front sang, the battle was fought
Near cold water
Blood was flowing,
Blood was streaming
By Drina for freedom!
