100 godina Hajduka - Hrvatska Himna - Lijepa naša Domovino

"Lijepa naša domovino" ("Our Beautiful Homeland") is the national anthem of Croatia. Its opening words, "Lijepa naša" ("Our Beautiful"), are widely used as a metonym for Croatia.

The original lyrics were written by Antun Mihanović and first published under the title "Horvatska domovina" ("Croatian homeland") in 1835. The music was composed by Josip Runjanin in 1846.

The complete song was reportedly scored and harmonized by Vatroslav Lichtenegger in 1861, and it was first performed as the Croatian anthem in the same year, under the title "Lijepa naša". The original anthem has 15 verses. Since then it has come to be known under the slightly longer present title and a few minor adjustments have been made to the lyrics. Our beautiful homeland, Oh dear heroic land, Our father's ancient glory, May you be blessed forever. Beloved, you are our sole glory, Beloved, you are our only one, Beloved, where you are plain, Beloved, where you are mountain Drava, Sava, flow on, Nor you Danube, lose your power, Deep blue sea, tell the world, That a Croat loves his people. Whilst the sun warms his fields, Whilst winds lash his oak trees, Whilst his lost ones are with grave covered, Whilst his living heart beats.
