The Hymn of the Kosovo Heroes
Serbian folk song
Christ our Lord crucified and holy, Serbian land is flying through the skies. it is flying in the heavenly heights,
its wings are Morava and Drina
Farewell my first, unborn son,
farewell roses, farewell rosemary. Farewell summers, autumns and winters, we are leaving to defeat them.
On three holy and three unified,
we are going to Kosovo field.
we are going to our destined place farewell my mother, farewell my sister and farewell my bride.
Farewell my first unborn son,
farewell roses, farewell rosemary. Farewell summers, autumns and winters, we are leaving to defeat them.
When my darling heard that i’m going, she put a flower of marigold in my coat. Farewell my first unborn son,
farewell roses, farewell rosemary. Farewell summers, autumns and winters, we are leaving to defeat them.
