Oj Srbijo mati

"Oj Srbijo mati" (lit. "Oh Serbia Our Mother") is a Serbian patriotic song.

It is often referred to as "Zovi, samo zovi" (the first line of the chorus, meaning "Call, just call").

There is a patriotic song called "Oj Hrvatska Mati" (lit. "Oh Croatia Our Mother") with almost the same lyrics. And both Serbs and Croats likes to see the song as their own.[1]

Lyrics


Oj Srbijo mati, nemoj tugovati. (2x)

Zovi, samo zovi Svi će sokolovi Za te život dati! (2x)

Srem, Banat i Bačka, tri srca junačka! (2x)

Zovi, samo zovi Svi će sokolovi Za te život dati! (2x)

Herceg-Bosna, Lika, to je srpska dika! (2x)

Zovi, samo zovi Svi će sokolovi Za te život dati! (2x)

Crna Gora mila, uvek s nama bila! (2x)

Zovi, samo zovi Svi će sokolovi Za te život dati! (2x)
