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.
