MAJKO MILA, MAJKO DRAGASWEET MOTHER, DEAR MOTHER
  
Dom nam čuvaj Božja Mati,Guard our home, Mother of God,
i sinova naših cvijet.and the bloom of our sons.
Tvojom molbom nek se vratiThrough your prayer may peace
božji mir na cijeli svijetReturn in the whole world.
  
(a)(a)
Majko draga, Majko sveta,Sweet Mother, Holy Mother,
slušaj svoje djece glas!Heed the voice of your children!
Bojni vihor svuda vladaThe winds of war blow everywhere
uništiti hoće nas.they will soon destroy us.
  
(b)(b)
Majko draga, Majko sveta,Sweet Mother, Holy Mother,
slušaj svoje djece glas!Heed the voice of your children!
Bojni vihor, mržnja kletaThe winds of war, damned hatred,
uništiti hoće nas.they will soon destroy us
  
Dragi naši redom ginuDear ones falling in succession
na bojnim poljanama.On the killing fields of war
Majka, daj po svome SinuMother, give us through your Son
lijeka našim ranama.Balsam for our aching wounds.
  
Grad za gradom ljuto strada,Devastation in the cities
mirna sela mori strah,Peaceful hamlets gripped in fear,
smrt i pustoš svuda vladaDeath and wasteland on all sides now,
plačuć padamo u strah.Weeping we collapse in fear.
