Živila Hrvatska


"Živila Hrvatska" (lit. Long live Croatia) is a Croatian patriotic song. The lyrics were written by August Šenoa, while the melody was composed by Ivan Zajc.

It was recorded in the 1893 "Hrvatska pjesmarica" by Vjekoslav Klaić.

Glasna, jasna od pameti,
Preko dola, preko gora,
Hrvatska nam pjesma leti,
Sve do našeg sinjeg mora,
Čas je meka, čas ko grom,
Vječna jeka za naš dom.
Hajde poj, hajde poj,
Brate moj, brate moj!

Hrvatskom se opet ori,
Pjesma naših velikana,
U njoj vječnom vatrom gori
Slava Zrinskih-Frankopana.
Čas je meka, čas ko grom,
Vječna jeka za naš dom.
Hajde poj, hajde poj,
Brate moj, brate moj!

Loud, clear since immemorial,
Over lowlands, over hills,
The Croatian song flies to us,
All the way to the deep sea,
At times soft, at times like thunder,
Eternal echo for our home.
Let's sing, let's sing,
My brother, my brother!

It resounds across Croatia,
The song of our great men,
In it burns the eternal flame
Of the glory of Zrinski-Frankopan.
At times soft, at times like thunder,
Eternal echo for our home.
Let's sing, let's sing,
My brother, my brother!
