National Anthem of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National anthem of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was created in December 1918 from the national anthems of the Kingdom's three constituent nations: Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia.

It contained 4 paragraphs, the first and fourth in Serbian language from the Serbian national anthem, the second in Croatian language from the Croatian national anthem, and the third in Slovenian language from the Slovenian popular song at that time.

Bože pravde, Ti što spase
Od propasti do sad nas,
Čuj i otsad naše glase,
I otsad nam budi spas!

Lijepa naša domovino,
Oj junačka zemljo mila,
Stare slave djedovino,
Da bi vazda sretna bila!

Naprej zastava slave,
Na boj junaška kri!
Za blagor očetnjave
Naj puška govori!

Bože spasi, Bože hrani
Našeg Kralja i naš rod!
Kralja Petra, Bože hrani,
Moli ti se sav naš rod.^[1]

[edit] English Lyrics

God of justice, save thy people,
Lord, protect us day by day;
Hear our voices supplicating,
Grant salvation now, we pray.

Blessed homeland, we salute thee,
Fairest proud soil, heroes hold dear.
Fatherland, allegiance we pledge,
Honouring thee, land without peer.

"Advance with banners waving!
Fight on!" our heroes cry.
To save our country's glory
The roaring guns reply.

God protect our noble monarch,
God watch over great and small,
God sustain and guide King Peter,
God defend and keep us all!
