Lyrics by Samuel Tomášik
Music by Unknown *If you know composer, please write.
“Hey, Slavs” is a patriotic song dedicated to the Slavs which was used as the national anthem of various countries during the 20th century. Its lyrics were first written in 1834 under the title “Hey, Slovaks” (“Hej, Slováci”) by Samuel Tomášik and it has since served as the ethnic anthem of the Pan-Slavic movement, organizational anthem of the Sokol physical education and political movement, and the national anthem of Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro. The song is also considered to be the unofficial second ethnic anthem of the Slovaks. Its melody is based on “Mazurek Dąbrowskiego”, which has also been the national anthem of Poland since 1926, but the Yugoslav variation has a slower tempo, is more accentuated, and does not repeat the last four lines as it repeats the last two lines.
Cyrillic script:
Хеј Словени, још cте живи
Реч (дух) наших дедова
Док за народ срце бије
Њихових синова
Живи, живи дух словенски
Живеће веков’ма
Залуд прети понор пакла,
Залуд ватра грома
Нек’ се сада и над нама
Буром све разнесе
Стена пуца, дуб се лама,
Земља нек’ се тресе
Ми стојимо постојано
Кано клисурине,
Проклет био издајица
Своје домовине!
