Anthem to Saint Sava (founder of Serbian Orthodox church and its first archbishop) - Danica Krstich
Full Lyrics:
All hail with love
To Saint Savo, founder to
Serbian Churches and schools -
to a saintly man, an enlighter
Wreaths and glory out there,
Where the shepherd of Serbs sleeps
(chorus: x2)
Oh Serbs, chant in his honour
this hymn, in the name of Trinity!
Thankful Serbdom,
who are all full of love
towards your shepherd,
To Saint Savo!
The entire Serbdom celebrates him
their saint, Saint Sava
(chorus:)
Oh Serbs, chant in his honour
this hymn, in the name of Trinity!
He, who sends a blessing from heaven
The Holy Father (priest) Sava.
All Serbs from all sides,
From the seas, as well as Danube,
Lift your heads up to heavens,
and you’ll find Saint Savо there,
(chorus 2)
Savo, the patron of all Serbs,
Before the throne of our Creator!
May the hearts of all Serbs,
unite with you,
May the Sun of peace, love
shine over all of us
So we can all live in harmony,
Saint Savo help us,
(chorus 3)
Hear the voice of your kind
The Serbian people - the Serbs!
Hey Srem*, Banat*,
and Old (Vardarian) Serbia*!
oh Ravanica keep the
prince Lazar’s* remains safe.
Montenegro*, our dear sister,
Stand with us proudly!
To celebrate our patron,
saint father (priest) Savo!
Mileshevo* takes pride in
having Saint Savo’s remains;
Celebrated by the Serbs,
From both sides of Sava river.
Sinan-pasha lit the fire
burning Saint Savo’s body,
but he can never burn
His legacy, nor the memory of him.
For many centuries every Serb was
enslaved and prosecuted,
but in spite of it Saint Savo’s
name has always been celebrated.
Saint Sava loves all Serbs
And prays to God for all of us.
(chorus)
Oh Serbs, chant in his honour
this hymn, in the name of Trinity!
