Onamo, 'namo!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Onamo, 'namo (Serbian: Онамо, 'намо; in English: There, over there) also known as the Serbian Marseillaise (Српска марсељеза) was a popular anthem in Montenegro in the late 19th to early 20th century. (The official anthem of Montenegro at the time was Ubavoj nam Crnoj Gori.)[1]
The music was composed by Davorin Jenko[1] or Franjo Vimer,[2] partly drawing upon a song of Garibaldi's fighters,[1][2] Si scopron le tombe, Si levano i morti,[1] with words written by Prince Nikola I of Montenegro.[1] Having words that were considered too inflammatory, it could not be used as an official anthem.[1]
In 1992 the government of Montenegro considered using it as the official anthem, but decided against it.[3] In 2003 it was nominated to be the official anthem of Serbia and Montenegro.[4] There are some who believe that it should become the anthem of Montenegro in the future.[5]
Onamo, 'namo! is the anthem of the People's Party of Montenegro.
