Lyrics

Croatian	English translation
Bilo je to godine, devetsto i treće, Kad su našu Hrvatsku stigle nesreće. Mađarske zastave digo Hedervary Silom hoće Hrvatsku da nam pomađari. Ustani bane, Hrvatska te zove, zove, Ustani bane Jelačiću! Nema junaka, nema Hrvata, Kao što je bio Jelačić ban. A sada njega crna zemlja krije. I zelena trava prekrila mu grob.	It was the year nine hundred and three, When trouble befell our Croatia. Hedervary raised the Hungarian flags Trying to forcefully Magyarize our Croatia. Rise, oh ban, Croatia calls you, calls you, Rise, ban Jelačić! There isn't a hero, there isn't a Croat, Like Jelačić the ban was. But now the black earth hides him, And green grass has covered his grave.

English translation

Bilo je to godine, devetsto i treće,
Kad su našu Hrvatsku stigle nesreće.
Mađarske zastave digo Hedervary
Silom hoće Hrvatsku da nam pomađari.

Ustani bane, Hrvatska te zove, zove,

Ustani bane Jelačiću!

Nema junaka, nema Hrvata,
Kao što je bio Jelačić ban.
A sada njega crna zemlja krije.
I zelena trava prekrila mu grob.

It was the year nine hundred and three,
When trouble befell our Croatia.
Hedervary raised the Hungarian flags
Trying to forcefully Magyarize our Croatia.

Rise, oh ban, Croatia calls you, calls you,

Rise, ban Jelačić!

There isn't a hero, there isn't a Croat,
Like Jelačić the ban was.
But now the black earth hides him,
And green grass has covered his grave.
