Vila Velebita

Vila Velebita

"Vila Velebita" (lit. Fairy of Velebit) is a Croatian patriotic song. It originates from the second half of the 19th century, after the Illyrian movement. Its earliest recorded public performance was in 1882 in Zagreb, on the Croatian singing society "Kolo"'s twentieth anniversary party.

The first recording of the lyrics and the melody dates from 1893, when Vjekoslav Klaić recorded it in the "Hrvatska pjesmarica" (lit. Croatian Songbook). He wrote down the first verse based on Vjenceslav Novak's rendition of how the people of Senj sang it. The original author remains unknown, but it was sometimes ascribed to the poets Danilo Medić or to Lavoslav Vukelić, while some sources claim the melody was written by the composer Mijo Majer.
