Dom nam čuvaj Božja Mati, | Guard our home, Mother of God, |
i sinova naših cvijet. | and the bloom of our sons. |
Tvojom molbom nek se vrati | Through your prayer may peace |
božji mir na cijeli svijet | Return in the whole world. |

Majko draga, Majko sveta, | Sweet Mother, Holy Mother, |

Majko draga, Majko sveta, | Sweet Mother, Holy Mother, |
slušaj svoje djece glas! | Heed the voice of your children! |
Bojni vihor, mržnja kleta | The winds of war, damned hatred, |
uništiti hoće nas. | they will soon destroy us |
Dragi naši redom ginu | Dear ones falling in succession |
na bojnim poljanama. | On the killing fields of war |
Majka, daj po svome Sinu | Mother, give us through your Son |
lijeka našim ranama. | Balsam for our aching wounds. |
Grad za gradom ljuto strada, | Devastation in the cities |
mirna sela mori strah, | Peaceful hamlets gripped in fear, |
smrt i pustoš svuda vlada | Death and wasteland on all sides now, |
plačuć padamo u strah. | Weeping we collapse in fear. |
