(This wraps up jos se nista ne zna. There isn't a literal translation for Niksicana, so I improv'd a bit.)

There by the blue sea, Montenegro fought,
when there was a stand or fall, the people from Nikšić arrived,
when the battle began near Goražde and Foča.
Tell me, sister, mountain fairy, how was it there,
both in the rain and in the mud, in Dubrovnik and Cavtat,
in Konavle and Čilipi, when the Montenegrins creaked.
If it weren't for the Nikšić people and the lads from Berane,
our flowers would have withered near Trebinje and Bileća,
if it weren't for the mighty heroes from Lovćen and Žabljak.
Frost fell on the branches, let’s go brothers to Cetinje,
my dear Kolašinci, always brave,
where the most beautiful dawn shines, there beneath Durmitor.

Lyrics

Lyrics:

Tamo pored plavog mora, borila se Crna Gora,
kad je bilo stani pani, stizali su Nikšićani,
kada ono borba poče kod Goražda i kod Foče

Reci sestro, gorska vilo, kako li je tamo bilo,
i po kiši i po blatu, Dubrovniku i Cavtatu,
i Konavli i Čilipi, Crnogorci kad zaškripi

Da ne bješe Nikšićana i momaka iz Berana,
uvelo bi naše cvijeće kod Trebinja i Bileće,
da ne bješe div-junaka sa Lovćena i Žabljaka

Po granama palo inje, ajmo braćo na Cetinje,
Kolašinci moji mili, junačine vazda bili,
đe najlepša sviće zora, tamo ispod Durmitora

There by the blue sea, Montenegro fought,
when there was a stand or fall, the people from Nikšić arrived,
when the battle began near Goražde and Foča.

Tell me, sister, mountain fairy, how was it there,
both in the rain and in the mud, in Dubrovnik and Cavtat,
in Konavle and Čilipi, when the Montenegrins creaked.

If it weren't for the Nikšić people and the lads from Berane,
our flowers would have withered near Trebinje and Bileća,
if it weren't for the mighty heroes from Lovćen and Žabljak.

Frost fell on the branches, let’s go brothers to Cetinje,
my dear Kolašinci, always brave,
where the most beautiful dawn shines, there beneath Durmitor.
