Sivi sokole, prijatelju stari, Visoka je planina, nebo iznad nje, Duboka je Sutjeska, kanjon iznad nje Na kanjonu Tito stoji i poručuje Sutjeska je probijena, ranjeni su spašeni Radili smo, radimo, radit ćemo još |
Peregrine Falcon, old friend of mine, The mountain is high, the sky above it, The Sutjeska is deep, the canyon above it Above the canyon stands Tito and commands, The Sutjeska is breached, the wounded are saved We have toiled, we toil, we will toil still |
