Oj Srbijo, mila mati

Oj Srbijo, mila mati (Oh Serbia, dear mother) is a Serbian patriotic song based on a longer song of similar title, shortened in 1909 by Vladimir Brzak. It was used in some circles as the unofficial anthem of Nazi-occupied Serbia.^[1]

Lyrics

Oj Srbijo, mila mati,
Uvek ću te tako zvati
Mila zemljo, mili dome
Na srcu je slatko tvome

Srećno živet ko u raju,
Gde miline večno traju
U tebi ću srećno tek
Provoditi ovaj vek.

Podigni se mati mila,
Da nam budeš što si bila,
Jer si tužno robovala,
Dugo suze prolivala.

Sunce ti se već rodilo,
Koje ti je zašlo bilo.
Na kriocu svagda tvom
Uteha je srcu mom.
