Volimo vas, brda tvrda,
I stravične vaše klance
Koji nikad ne poznaše
Sramotnoga ropstva lance.


Dok lovćenskoj našoj misli
Naša sloga daje krila,
Biće gorda, biće slavna
Domovina naša mila.


Rijeka će naših vala,
Uskačući u dva mora,
Glas nositi okeanu,
Da je vječna Crna Gora.

Ој свијетла мајска зоро
Мајко наша Црна Горо
Синови смо твог стијења
И чувари твог поштења


Волимо вас, брда тврда,
И стравичне ваше кланце
Који никад не познаше
Срамотнога ропства ланце.


Док ловћенској нашој мисли
Наша слога даје крила,
Биће горда, биће славна
Домовина наша мила.


Ријека ће наших вала,
Ускачући у два мора,
Глас носити океану,
Да је вјечна Црна Гора.

O, bright dawn of May
Our mother Montenegro
We are sons of your rocks
and keepers of your honesty
This article is about the republic in Serbia-Montenegro, Europe. ...


We love you, the hard hills
And your terrifying gorges
That never came to know
The chains of shameful slavery.


While our unity gives wings
to our Lovćen cause
Proud shall be, celebrated will be
Our dear homeland.

A river of our waves,
Jumping into two seas,
Will bear voice to the ocean,
That Montenegro is for eternity.
