BILEČANKA	THE SONG OF BILEĆA (BILEĆANKA)
Sredi pušk in bajonetov, sredi mrkih straž Se pomika naša četa v hercegovski kras.	Midst rifles and bayonets, And guards around us, Silently are moving our troops Through the karst of Bileća.
Čuje se odmev korakov Po kamenju hercegovskem Heja ho, heja ho!	Echo of the footfall On the Herzegovinian rocks is heared; Hej, haj, ho! Hej, haj, ho!
Daleč zdaj si domovina nas izgnali so Ko da krivi smo zločina, ker te ljubimo.	You're far away homeland, We've been persecuted, They persecuted us because of the crime For loving you.
Čuje se odmev korakov Po kamenju hercegovskem Heja ho, heja ho!	Echo of the footfall On the Herzegovinian rocks is heared; Hej, haj, ho! Hej, haj, ho!
Vzeli materi so sina, ženi so moža Lačna je doma družina, dosti je gorja.	A mother has lost a son, And a wife without a husband, Their house became empty A bitter fate.
Čuje se odmev korakov Po kamenju hercegovskem Heja ho, heja ho!	Echo of the footfall On the Herzegovinian rocks is heared; Hej, haj, ho! Hej, haj, ho!
Že v Sibirijo gonili, brate so nekdaj Pa je prišel konec sili, kje si zdaj tiran.	Already in Siberia, Brothers were persecuted, But the end to the tyranny has arrived Where are you tyrant now?
Čuje se odmev korakov Po kamenju hercegovskem Heja ho, heja ho!	Echo of the footfall On the Herzegovinian rocks is heared; Hej, haj, ho! Hej, haj, ho!
Skoz pregnanstvo in trpljenje, skozi ječe mrak Prišlo novo bo življenje, čujte mu korak.	Through persecution and suffering, Through dungeon's darkness, A new life is arriving, Hear its steps.
Čuje se odmev korakov Po kamenju hercegovskem Heja ho, heja ho!	Echo of the footfall On the Herzegovinian rocks is heared; Hej, haj, ho! Hej, haj, ho!
Ko brez pušk in bajonetov, prosta nam bo pot Stopala bo naša četa, svobodi naprot'.	Without rifles and bayonets, If we must go, Our troops will march Towards freedom.
Čuje se odmev korakov Po kamenju hercegovskem Heja ho, heja ho!	Echo of the footfall On the Herzegovinian rocks is heared; Hej, haj, ho! Hej, haj, ho!
