|Embassy of MNE|: Statehood day

Day 2,062, 14:37 • Published in Lithuania Montenegro • by montenegro90

Dear friends,

Today was a special day for Montenegro!

Today, Montenegro celebrates 13th of July, a Statehood Day!

Statehood Day (Montenegrin: Dan državnosti) is a holiday that occurs every year on July 13 in Montenegro to commemorate the day in 1878 on which the Berlin Congress recognized Montenegro as the twenty-seventh independent state in the world, and that in 1941 the Montenegrins staged an uprising against the Nazi occupiers and sided with the partisan communist movement.





Therefore, this day have a special place in hearts of all Montenegrins! 🙂

If you haven't heard a Montenegrin anthem, I suggest you to hear it HERE. 🙂

Here are the lyrics:

|Montenegrin|:

Oj svijetla majska zoro

Oj svijetla majska zoro,
Majko naša Crna Goro,
Sinovi smo tvog stijenja
I čuvari tvog poštenja.

Volimo vas, brda tvrda,
I stravične vaše klance
Koji nikad ne poznaše
Sramotnoga ropstva lance.

Dok lovćenskoj našoj misli
Naša sloga daje krila,
Biće gorda, biće slavna
Domovina naša mila.

Rijeka će naših vala,
Uskačući u dva mora,
Glas nositi okeanu,
Da je vječna Crna Gora!


|English|:

Oh,bright dawn of May

Oh, bright dawn of May
Our mother Montenegro
We are sons of your rocks
and keepers of your honesty

We love you, the rocky hills
And your awesome gorges
That never came to know
The chains of shameful slavery.

While our unity gives wings
to our Lovćen cause
Proud shall be, celebrated will be
Our dear homeland.

A river of our waves,
Jumping into two seas,
Will bear voice to the ocean,
May eternal be our Montenegro!



Crnogorci, srećan nam dan državnosti!
Nek' nam je vječna Crna Gora!
