Oda slobodi
O lijepa, o draga, o slatka slobodo,
dar u kom sva blaga višnji nam Bog je do.
Uzroče istini od naše sve slave,
uresu jedini od ove Dubrave.
Sva srebra, sva zlata, svi ljudski životi
ne mogu bit plata tvôj čistoj ljepoti!
Ode to freedom
Oh beautiful, oh dear, oh sweet freedom,
gift in which all fortune God gave us.
The true cause to all our glory,
the only adornment of these woods.
Every bit of silver, every bit of gold, all human lives,
can not repay your pure beauty.
~ By Ivan Gundulić.
