sutra idem u armiju
bicu vojnik i cuvacu
svoju dragu domovinu
Ref. 2x
Nek' cvjeta cvijece
nek' lista gora
dug prema zemlji
vracat' se mora
Otac mi je govorio
ucio me od malena
da se uvijek cuvat' mora
i voljeti svoja zemlja
Ref. 2x
Draga moja domovino
i tebi se mladjan kunem
za slobodu i cast tvoju
boricu se dok ne umrem
Ref. 2x
