 translation

Христе Боже распети и свети,

Српска земља кроз облаке лети.

Лети преко небеских висина,

Крила су јој Морава и Дрина1

Збогом први нерођени сине,

Збогом ружо, збогом рузмарине.

Збогом лето, јесени и зимо,

Одлазимо да се не вратимо.3

На три свето и на три саставно,

Одлазимо на Косово равно.

Одлазимо на суђено место

Збогом мајко, сестро и невесто.

Збогом први нерођени сине,

Збогом ружо, збогом рузмарине.

Збогом лето, јесени и зимо.

Одлазимо да се не вратимо.3

Кад је драга да одлазим чула,

За ревер2 ми невен заденула.

Збогом први нерођени сине,

Збогом ружо, збогом рузмарине.

Збогом лето, јесени и зимо.

Одлазимо да се не вратимо.3

Hriste Bože raspeti i sveti,

Srpska zemlja kroz oblake leti.

Leti preko nebeskih visina,

Krila su joj Morava i Drina1

Zbogom prvi nerođeni sine,

Zbogom ružo, zbogom ruzmarine.

Zbogom leto, jeseni i zimo,

Odlazimo da se ne vratimo.3

Na tri sveto i na tri sastavno,

Odlazimo na Kosovo ravno.

Odlazimo na suđeno mesto

Zbogom majko, sestro i nevesto.

Zbogom prvi nerođeni sine,

Zbogom ružo, zbogom ruzmarine.

Zbogom leto, jeseni i zimo.

Odlazimo da se ne vratimo.3

Kad je draga da odlazim čula,

Za rever2 mi neven zadenula.

Zbogom prvi nerođeni sine,

Zbogom ružo, zbogom ruzmarine.

Zbogom leto, jeseni i zimo.

Odlazimo da se ne vratimo.3
