The Presidency of BiH on this day, the 24th of November 1995, adopted the text and music of the national anthem of the Republic of BiH, known as “Jedna si jedina.”
The author of the text of the anthem is Edin Dervishalidovic (Dino Merlin). This anthem was actual until 1998 and the decision of the then High Representative Carlos Westendorp. Then it was replaced with today’s anthem without text.
For our readers who follow us outside BiH, we have translation of text of the anthem:
Bosnian Version
Zemljo tisućljetna
Na vjernost ti se kunem
Od mora do Save
Od Drine do Une
Jedna si jedina
Moja domovina
Jedna si jedina
Bosna i Hercegovina
Bog nek’ te sačuva
Za pokoljenja nova
Zemljo mojih snova
Mojih pradjedova
Jedna si jedina
Moja domovina
Jedna si jedina
Bosna i Hercegovina
Anthem (English Version)
I pledge my loyalty to you
My thousand-year old land
From the Sava to the sea
From the Drina to the Una
You are the one and only
The only homeland I have
You are the one and only
Bosnia and Herzegovina
May God save you
For the generations to come
You are the land of my dreams
The land of my forefathers
You are the one and only
The only homeland I have
You are the one and only
Bosnia and Herzegovina.
