Hej, Sloveni has been the national anthem of Yugoslavia since 1945. The song dates back to the 19th century. It has the same basic melody as Mazurek Dabrowskiego, the national anthem of Poland. Up to 1991, versions of lyrics in Serbo-Croatian, Slovenian and Macedonian were used.
Živi, živi, duh slovenski
Nek se sada i nad nama
Mi stojimo postojano
Živi, živi duh slavenski
Nek se sada i nad nama
Mi stojimo postojano
Živi, živi, duh slovanski,
Naj tedaj nad nami
Bratje, mi stojimo trdno
Live, live, spirit Slavic
Even if now there above us
We stand steadilyLyrics
Serbo-Croatian
Hej, Sloveni, jošte živi
Reč naših dedova
Dok za narod srce bije
Njihovih sinova
Živećeš vekovma
Zalud preti ponor pakla
Zalud vatra groma
Burom sve raznese
Stena puca, dub se lama
Zemlja nek se trese
Kano klisurine
Proklet bio izdajica
Svoje domovine!Croatian
Hej Slaveni, još ste živi
Riječ naših djedova
Dok za narod srce bije
Njihovih sinova
živjet ćeš vjekov'ma
zalud prijeti ponor pakla
zalud vatra groma
Burom sve raznese
Stijena puca, dub se lama
zemlja nek se trese
kano klisurine
proklet bio izdajica
svoje domovine.Slovenian
Hej Slovani, naša reč
slovanska živo klije
dokler naše verno srce
za naš narod bije.
bodi živ na veke,
grom in peklo, prazne vaše
proti nam so steke.
strašna burja se le znese,
skala poka, dob se lomi,
zemlja naj se strese.
kakor zidi grada,
črna zemlja naj pogrezne
tega, kdor odpada.English
O, Slavs, there still lives
Word of our grandfathers
While for the people heart strikes
Of their sons
You will live for centuries
Futile is the Hell's abyss
Futile is the fire of thunder
Storm shatters everything
Stone breaks, tree shatters
Earth quakes
As river gorges
Damned is the traitor
Of his homeland!
