Anthem
The national anthem of Montenegro is ˮOj, svijetla majska zoroˮ.
Text of the anthem is:
Oj svijetla majska zoro, majko naša Crna Goro,
Sinovi smo tvog stijenja i čuvari tvog poštenja.
Volimo vas, brda tvrda, i stravične vaše klance,
Koji nikad ne poznaše sramotnoga ropstva lance.
Dok lovćenskoj našoj misli naša sloga daje krila,
Biće gorda, biće slavna, domovina naša mila.
Rijeka će naših vala, uskačući u dva mora,
Glas nositi okeanu, da je vječna Crna Gora!
