Night Over Belgrade

Night Over Belgrade
Tatyana Okunevskaya

Night over Belgrade is quiet,
It has come to take the place of day.
Remember how brightly it flared —
The furious thunder of fire.

Remember the hour of terror,
The flight of black machines…
Clench your heart, listen closely:
The night is singing a song!

Chorus:
The flame of anger burns in our hearts!
Flame of anger, lead us on the march!
Prepare for the hour of reckoning!
Death for death! Blood for blood!
To battle, Slavs! The dawn lies ahead!

The reeds whisper in the river bends…
The Danube sings quietly…
In the corpses of tortured people,
Recognize your brothers!

Beloved sky of Croatia,
Stones of the Carpathian Mountains…
By a mighty oath we swear
To strike back at the enemy!

Chorus

The awakened people will rise!
A brave call rings out!
The ashes of the ravaged land
Beat in our hearts!

In the sky of war — a blaze.
The Motherland is calling us!
Together, forward, comrades!
Forward, against the enemy!

Chorus

Noć nad Beogradom
Tatjana Okunevska

Noć nad Beogradom je tiha,
došla je na smjenu danu.
Sjeti se kako je silno bljesnuo
grom jarosnog plamena.

Sjeti se onih časova užasa,
crnih kolona što su letjele…
Stegni srce, oslušni dobro:
noć pjeva svoju pjesmu!

Refren:
Plamen gnjeva gori u grudima!
Plamen gnjeva, povedi nas u pohod!
Spremi čas obračuna!
Smrt za smrt! Krv za krv!
U boj, Sloveni! Zora je pred nama!

Šapuće šaš u okucima rijeke…
Tiho pjeva Dunav…
U tijelima mučenih ljudi
prepoznaj svoju braću!

Drago nebo Hrvatske,
kamenje Karpatskih gora…
Kletemo se silom gromovnom
da ćemo neprijatelju dati otpor!

Refren.

Ustaće narod probuđeni!
Smjeli poziv odjekuje!
Pepeo razorene zemlje
kuca u našim srcima!

Na nebu rata — velika vatra.
Otadžbina nas zove!
Složni naprijed, drugovi!
Protiv neprijatelja naprijed!

Refren.
