Tamo 'dje se gusle cuju

i 'dje gusle jos se cuju
u brdima vise mora
tu je moja Crna Gora
Ref. 2x
Zeljom moje srce gori
da se vratim Crnoj Gori
'dje me stara majka ceka
da se vratim iz daleka
Zazelje se srce moje
piti vode sa izvora
gledat' stado kako pase
branit' jagnjad od orlova
Ref. 2x
Volio bih da sam soko
da poletim ja visoko
i da vidju plavo more
i sva brda Crne Gore
Ref. 2x
Tamo 'dje se gusle cuju
