Lyrics of Dolazak Hrvata - Thompson

Dolazak Hrvata (original)

U junačkoj zemlji miloj, lijepoj i dalekoj
U godini gospodnjoj šest stotina i nekoj
Spustila se na tu zemlju sila
Plava je krv narod predvodila
Drhti zemlja, kamen puca
Kroz nebeska vrata
Dojahao bijeli vitez
Sa mačem od zlata
Dajte mi komad zemlje svete
Zemlja je i mati i dijete
Ljubi svoju zemlju, na njoj ti sagradi dom
I brani je, krvlju svojom povezan si s njom
Ljubi svoju zemlju, ljubi blagoslovljen plod
I ponosno po njoj hodaj svoj zemaljski hod
Bijeli vitez krenu natrag kroz nebeska vrata
Ostavio Lijepu našu bez gladi i rata
Pred nebeskog Oca klekne s' riječima od zlata
Predao sam zemlju svetu u ruke Hrvata
A junačka zemlja moja mila
Do danas je riječi zapamtila

(translation)

In a heroic land dear, beautiful and distant
In the year of the Lord six hundred and some
A force descended on that land
The blue blood led the people
The earth trembles, the stone cracks
Through the gates of heaven
A white knight rode up
With a sword of gold
Give me a piece of holy land
The earth is both mother and child
Love your country, build your home on it
And defend her, with your blood you are connected with her
Love your country, love the blessed fruit
And walk your earthly walk proudly on it
The white knight headed back through the gates of heaven
He left Lijepa naša without hunger and war
He knelt before the heavenly Father with words of gold
I handed over the country to the world in the hands of the Croats
And my heroic country, my dear
To this day, she has memorized the words
