Гробови
Сварун

Свак' знаде час кад сјени уморне пођу,
Кад орахом храстје смени

Свак' знаде час кад очи се склопе,
Кад језик замре и неста људи
на земљи којој су столећјем живели

Свак' знаде час кад реч прекраја међе,
Кад језик правда мач

Свак' знаде тад да живи, као и мертви, народ чине,
Да гробје земљи виче:

Ако нитко жив ти не мож' каз'ти докле допире твоја земља
Гробове и кости потражи, мертви ће да истину занавек зборе

Свак' знаде да док мертви биљеге држе
И жив се има вратит' гдје

Свак' знаде тад да живи, као и мертви, народ чине,
К'о храстја корен и златна круна

Ако нитко жив ти не мож' каз'ти докле допире твоја земља
Гробове и кости потражи, мертви ће да истину занавек зборе

The Graves
Svarun

Everyone knows the hour when the weary shades make their journey,
When an oak is replaced by a nut tree

Everyone knows the hour when the eyes close shut,
When the language dies out and when the people disappear
From the land they have lived upon for centuries

Everyone knows the hour when a word changes the borders,
When the tongue justifies the sword

Everyone knows then that the living as well as the dead make up the people,
And that the graves shout out to the land:

If no one left alive can tell you how far does your land stretch out
Look for the graves and the bones, the dead shall always speak the truth

Everyone knows that while the dead mark the borders
The living also have a place to return to

Everyone knows that the living as well as the dead make up the people,
Just as an oak is made up of its roots and its golden crown

If no one left alive can tell you how far does your land stretch out
Look for the graves and the bones, the dead shall always speak the truth
