Bože pravde, ti što spase,
od propasti do sad nas!
Čuj i od sad naše glase
i odsad nam budi spas!
Lijepa naša domovino,
Oj junačka zemljo mila,
Stare slave djedovino,
Da bi vazda sretna bila!
Naprej zastava slave,
na boj junaška kri,
za blagor očetnjave
naj puška govori!
Bože spasi, Bože hrani,
našeg Kralja i naš rod!
Kralja Petra, Bože hrani,
moli ti se sav naš rod!
[Paragraph 1 Serbian
Paragraph 2 Croatian
Paragraph 3 Slovenian
Paragraph 4 Serbian, but in the three languages]
[edit] English Lyrics
God of justice, save thy people,
Lord, protect us day by day;
Hear our voices supplicating,
Grant salvation now, we pray.
Blessed homeland, we salute thee,
Fairest proud soil, heroes hold dear.
Fatherland, allegiance we pledge,
Honouring thee, land without peer.
"Advance with banners waving!
Fight on!" our heroes cry.
To save our country's glory
The roaring guns reply.
God protect our noble monarch,
God watch over great and small,
God sustain and guide King Peter,
God defend and keep us all!
