Original Lyrics in Montenegrin
Oj, svijetla majska zoro,
Majko naša Crna Goro,
Sinovi smo tvojih stina
I čuvari tvojih časti.
Volimo vas, morske plave,
Pola majke Crne Gore,
Nek se tvoji svud razviju
Brzo viđu vjesni znaci.
Crnogorsko vječno ime,
Majka naša ti si bila,
Težimo ti svijetle strane
Crne Gore, voljena.
English Translation of the Lyrics
Oh, bright dawn of May,
Mother of our Montenegro,
We are your sons of the cliffs
And keepers of your honor.
We love you, blue sea,
Half of the mother of Montenegro,
Let your proud banners fly
Quickly to be seen signs.
Eternal name of Montenegro,
You have always been our mother,
We strive towards you,
Bright side of Montenegro, beloved.
