Lyrics of Hej, hej Kikore - Roki Vulovic

Hej, hej Kikore (original)

Tmurno je i sivo nebo iznad grada
Dušmani ga silno napadoše tada
Počela je bitka lila sve u krvi
U Krajini pušku uzeo si prvi
Hej hej Kikore, Majevički vihore
Krajina je hrabra s’tobom postala
I zauvijek ostala
Misli te proganjale, kao noćna mora
Krenuo si putem srpskog koridora
Dok je nebo gorijelo, lilo mnogo krvi
U Suljan i Soka ušao si prvi
Hej hej Kikore, Majevički vihore
Posavina hrabra s’tobom postala
I zauvijek ostala
Majevica zvala, Semberija pjeva
Da ponovo braniš svoja rodna sela
Orila se pjesma, opet mnogo krvi
Brigada je htjela da je vodiš prvi
Hej hej Kikore, Majevički vihore
Majevica hrabra s’tobom postala
I zauvijek ostala
Tvoji hrabri momci
Što te uvijek prate
Majevici opet ponos će da vrate
S’tobom su junaci iz tvog rodnog sela
Kojima se divi Semberija cela
Hej hej Kikore, Majevički vihore
Majevica hrabra s’tobom postala
I zauvijek ostala

(translation)

The sky above the city is gloomy and gray
The enemies attacked him strongly then
The battle of lila all in blood began
You were the first to take a rifle in Krajina
Hey hey Kikore, Majevicki whirlwinds
Krajina has become brave with you
And stayed forever
Thoughts haunted you, like a nightmare
You took the Serbian corridor
As the sky burned, a lot of blood flowed
You were the first to enter Suljan and Soka
Hey hey Kikore, Majevicki whirlwinds
Posavina became brave with you
And stayed forever
Majevica called, Semberija sang
To defend your native villages again
A song was sung, again a lot of blood
The brigade wanted you to lead it first
Hey hey Kikore, Majevicki whirlwinds
Majevica has become brave with you
And stayed forever
Your brave boys
Which always follow you
The Majevics will return their pride again
The heroes from your home village are with you
Who admires Semberija whole
Hey hey Kikore, Majevicki whirlwinds
Majevica has become brave with you
And stayed forever
