The lyrics were written by August Šenoa, while the melody was composed by Ivan Zajc.
[1] The lyrics first appeared in the September 1873 print of Vienac magazine and other Croatian publications and was simply titled "Hrvatska Pjesma" ('Croatian Song').
[3] Glasna, jasna od pameti, Preko dola, preko gora, Hrvatska nam pjesma leti, Sve do našeg sinjeg mora, Čas je meka, čas ko grom, Vječna jeka za naš dom.
Hrvatskom se opet ori, Pjesma naših velikana, U njoj vječnom vatrom gori Slava Zrinskih-Frankopana.
It resounds across Croatia, The song of our great men, In it burns the eternal flame Of the glory of Zrinski-Frankopan.
