Lyrics

Lyrics:

U Krajini pravoslavne sveće,
nikad niko ugasiti neće.
Dok je Srba i Krajine biće,
još rađaju majke Obiliće.

Ne damo ti Tuđmane ni metra,
otadžbine našeg kralja Petra!

Želio si Petrinju i Glinu,
šahovnicu da staviš u Kninu.
A znao si neće biti tako,
Krajišnici ne daju se lako.

Ne damo ti Tuđmane ni metra,
otadžbine našeg kralja Petra!

Setićeš se nekad Vukovara,
grada Knina i starog Mostara.
Boleće te i Kupreška vrata,
tamo više i nema Hrvata.

Ne damo ti Tuđmane ni metra,
otadžbine našeg kralja Petra!

Lyrics (English):

In Krajina, the Orthodox candles,
No one will ever extinguish them.
As long as there are Serbs, there will be Krajina,
Mothers still give birth to Obilićes.

We won’t give you Tuđman, not even a meter,
Of our homeland, our King Peter’s!

You wanted Petrinja and Glina,
To put the chessboard in Knin.
But you knew it wouldn’t be like that,
Krajina people don’t give up easily.

We won’t give you Tuđman, not even a meter,
Of our homeland, our King Peter’s!

You will remember Vukovar one day,
The city of Knin and old Mostar.
It will hurt you, the Kupres gates,
There are no Croats there anymore.

We won’t give you Tuđman, not even a meter,
Of our homeland, our King Peter’s!
