У небо гледам пролазе векови,
Сећања давних једини лекови.
Chorus:
Куд год да кренем Теби се враћам поново.
Ко да ми отме из моје душе Косово
Видовдан
К'о вечни пламен у нашим срцима
Косовског боја Остаје истина.
Chorus
Видовдан
Опрости Боже све наше грехове
Јунаштвом даруј кћери и синове.
Chorus |
U nebo gledam prolaze vekovi,
Sećanja davnih jedini lekovi.
Chorus:
Kud god da krenem Tebi se vraćam ponovo.
Ko da mi otme iz moje duše Kosovo
Vidovdan
K'o večni plamen u našim srcima
Kosovskog boja Ostaje istina.
Chorus
Vidovdan
Oprosti Bože sve naše grehove
Junaštvom daruj kćeri i sinove.
Chorus |
I'm looking at the sky, centuries are passing by,
Thinking of the past, the only remedy.
Chorus:
Wherever I may go, I will always return.
Nobody can tear Kosovo away from my soul
Vidovdan
Like an eternal flame burning in our hearts
The battle remains the truth.
Chorus
Vidovdan
Lord, forgive us of all of our sins.
Give the courage to our daughters and sons.
