Bog i Hrvati
Thompson Lyrics

Udijelio Svevisnji narodu mom
The Almighty gave my people the most beautiful land under the sky.

najljepsu zemlju pod nebom
The Almighty blessed my people with the most beautiful land under the sky.

prosulo sunce cudesni sjaj
The sun spread wonderful light on the land that was like heaven.

na zemlju sto bjese k'o raj
On the land that was like heaven.

Prvog nam kralja pomaza Bog
God anointed our first king.

i dao mu blagoslov svoj
And gave him his blessing.

da vodi svoj narod kroz trnje i led
To lead his people through thorns and ice.

zakon da vlada i red
To establish law and order.

A narod k'o narod lako ga prevari zlo
But the people, like any people, were easily deceived by evil.

i komad po komad on gubi to sveto tlo
And bit by bit, they lost that holy ground.

Svevisnjeg bijes, puce k'o grom
God's anger, exploding like thunder.

i zakloni Sunce sto sjalo je narodu mom
And covered the sun that shone on my people.

Kroz bespuca proslosti trpise Bog
Through the wilderness of the past, God suffered.

i putem ih odvede zlo
Guiding them through evil.

on ceka da cuje molitve glas
He waits to hear their prayers.

da udijeli nadu i spas
To give them hope and salvation.

Macevi su sjekli andjele i svece
Swords cut down angels and saints.

bune su se gušile krikovima djece
Revolts were quelled with the screams of children.

poslanicko ropstvo pet stoljeca tuge
Five centuries of slavery.

boljsevicka neman radjala je sluge
The Bolshevik monster gave rise to slaves.

Palile su silne vatre domove i sela
Mighty fires burned down homes and villages.

gonilo je more kamen prkos zemlja cijela
The sea and stones pursued the defiance of the entire land.

probodenih srca i nevine krvi
Innocent blood was shed.

koji nisu krivi padali su prvi
Those who were not guilty fell first.

prodane duse za lazni sjaj
Souls were sold for false glory.

prolise suze zemlji k'o raj
Tears were shed on the land that was like heaven.

Gospine suze brisao Bog
God wiped away the tears of Our Lady.

ne placi kraljice naroda mog
Do not cry, queen of my people.

nek' odbace zlo u duboki vir
Let them reject evil into the deep abyss.

vratit cu zemlju i dat cu im mir
I will give them back the land and give them peace.

Uslisi molitve narodu Bog
Hear the prayers of the people, God.

ugasi vatru i dim
Extinguish the fire and smoke.

vrati joj staru slavu i sjaj
Restore its old glory and splendor.

Al' opet se nad nas nadvilo zlo
But evil has once again descended upon us.

vreba i ceka svoj cas
It waits and bides its time.

cuje li narod povijesti glas
Does the people hear the voice of history?

samo u Bogu je spas
Only in God is there salvation.
