Broatia needs its Brozil

Day 1,229, 14:22 • Published in Brazil Croatia • by Obersoldat


Hello my dear Brozil,

With this first article I would like to ask you to join Croatia in our fight.As no.1 country of eRepublik,Brazil has the power and ability to change the outcome of the Croatia-Serbia war.And we will not forget this.
Since Croatia came to be in eRepublik,our one guideline was not regions and resources.It was honor,friendship and respect of our allies.We fight to conquer that,while others have no clue what these principles mean,they are after pixels on the screen.They mock us for helping and being with our allies at our own expense.We will never surrender or betray our allies.For our enemies can take our regions,but they can't take our honor.We live to a principle,the day we stab our friends in the back(as some did to us) to win regions,we have lost all that is worth fighting for.Croats are honorable and brave people and we will never forget you,and will always be there when you need us.



WE SHALL PREVAIL!!!





And for this occasion,a historical event and an opera written about it,came to my mind.
On the August 5th 1566 sultan Sulejman I. Of Otoman Empire goes on a campaign to conquer the Europe.In a city Siget,on Hungaro-Croatian border,Croatian Count Nikola Šubić Zrinski with his army of 2 500 soldiers awaits the sultans army of 100 000 soldiers and 300 canons.The siege of Siget lasts for a month.Unable to capture the city,Turks set it on fire.While the city was burning,refusing to break his oath and surrender, Nikola Šubić Zrinski with his band of brothers goes for a final push to the death.



Here is a part from that opera ''Nikola Šubić Zrinski'' composed by Ivan pl. Zajc that I have translated to English for you.

To the fight,to the fight

To the fight,to the fight!
Pull your swords from scabbars,brothers,
let the enemy know how we die!


Our city is already burning,
the flames are reaching us:
their roar ecoes ,
Their rage is rampant!


Like that fire our chests are burning,
Their roars silenced by our swords clang!

Like a brother to brother
Everbody kiss Zrinski!
After him to the gates,
You loyal heroes!


Now,brothers!
Charge our guns,pistols,
Our thunders,our fires,
Let them roar,let them tumble the sea!
Sharpen our angry swords,
Let them cut harder,harder!
Now goodbye,
our home forever,
oh,goodbye,
from everywhere and everywhere,
angry enemy goes at you.
And already to the tomb,
your sacred body puts,
but he will not!
Every son for you in battle goes!
Our home,stand forever!


Go to the fight, fight!
For home,for home now to the fight!
The devil's multitude,
Upon him raises his knife;
Go to the fight!
We are in small, but brave numbers!
Who,who will crush him?
Death to the devil,death!


For homeland to die,what a pleasure!
Against the enemy!He must,he must fall!




This opera was very popular among Croatian saliors,who brought it to Japan,where it became a big hit.On YouTube you can find a video of 1000 Japanese singing U boj,u boj or this video also from Japan and both are sung in Croatian.So here are original lyrics in Croatian and video of opera performance.



U boj,u boj

U boj, u boj!
Mač iz toka, braćo,
nek dušman zna kako mremo mi!


Grad naš već gori,
stiže do nas već žar:
rik njihov ori,
bijesan je njihov jar!


K'o požar taj grudi naše plamte,
utiša rik mača naših zvek!


K'o bratac brata
Zrinskog poljub'te svi!
Za njim na vrata,
vjerni junaci vi!


Sad, braćo!
Pun'mo puške, samokrese,
naše grome, naše trijese,
neka ore, ruše more!
Brus'mo ljute naše mače,
neka sijeku jače, jače!

Sad zbogom bud',
dome naš zauvijek,
oj, zbogom,
od svud i svud
na te dušman ide prijek.
I već u grob
sveti trup sklada tvoj,
al' neće!
Za te sin svak u boj se kreće!
Dome naš, ti vijekom stoj!


Hajd' u boj, u boj!
Za dom, za dom sad u boj!
Ma paklena množ
na nj diže svoj nož;
Hajd' u boj!
Nas mal, al' hrabar je broj!
Tko, tko će ga strt'?
Smrt vragu, smrt!


Za domovinu mrijeti kolika slast!
Prot dušmaninu! Mora on mora past'!
