Za blagor očetnjave
Naj puška govori! Onward, banner of glory,

for the sake of the motherland
let the rifles sound! Advance with banners waving!
Fight on!" our heroes cry.
To save our country's glory
The roaring guns reply!Fourth verse in Serbian (with IPA transcription) Bože spasi, Bože hrani
Našeg Kralja i naš rod!
Kralja Petra, Bože hrani,
Moli ti se sav naš rod!  God protect our noble monarch,
God watch over great and small,
God sustain and guide King Peter,
God defend and keep us all!
