Ljubivoje Rsumovic - Defend the homeland with beauty

Defend the homeland with a river

and a fish in the water

and a tall thin juniper

which grows freely.

Defend the homeland with a flower

and a bee inside the flower

with knapweed and sunflower

and a flying bird.

Defend the homeland with a book

and a song about the sky

with the tears of a sister and the care of a mother

and with the flour of a bread.

Defend the homeland with beauty

and honor and knowledge

defend the homeland with your life

and good behavior.
