Naprej zastava slave

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Naprej zastava slave", (English "Forward, Flag of Glory") a poem in Slovenian language, is the old Slovene national anthem. It was written by Simon Jenko and put into music by Davorin Jenko on 16th May 1860.

When Slovenia became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later Kingdom of Yugoslavia), this poem was first used as a part of this state's anthem. Later it was replaced by Hej Sloveni (Slovenian Hej, Slovani). As Slovene anthem, Naprej zastava slave was in use till the second half of the 1980s, when it was gradually replaced by Zdravljica, written by the Slovene poet France Prešeren (put into music by Stanko Premrl). Naprej zastava slave remains the official anthem of the Slovene military.

Davorin Jenko also composed the Serb anthem Bože pravde (God of Justice).

Naprej zastava Slave

Naprej zastava slave,
na boj junaška kri,
za blagor očetnjave
naj puška govori!

Z orožjem in desnico,
nesimo vragu grom,
zapisat v kri pravico,
ki terja jo naš dom.

Naprej zastava slave,
na boj junaška kri,
za blagor očetnjave
naj puška govori!

Naprej! Naprej!

Forward, Flag of Glory

Forward!, flag of glory,
To battle, heroes' blood!
For our fatherland's sake
Let the rifles sound.

With weapons on our right
We bring the devil wrath.
To write in blood the justice
Demanded by our land.

Forward!, flag of glory,
To battle, heroes' blood!
For our fatherland's sake
Let the rifles sound.

Forward! Forward!
