Izet Nanic shall never be forgotten
From Bužim, where Krayina wakes,
where courage in our bosoms blazes,
the Fifth Corps and the Five-Oh-Five—
Izet Nanić showed Bosnia the way.
Golden Lily, a river bearing gold,
Krayina and Bosnia shall remember you.
When bitter times were dark with spite,
Bosnia blossomed within your heart.
Izo, Izete, pride of Krayina,
Bosnian knight, guardian of the homeland.
While freedom’s call through Bosnia rings,
your noble deeds are praised and honored.
As long as the world and time endure,
the Five-Oh-Five shall never be forgotten.
While stars adorn the sky above Bosnia,
Izet Nanić shall never be forgotten.
He sought no glory, nor a hero’s fame;
to guard his Bosnia was his only aim.
With his soldiers he marched brave and bold,
always the first when the battle burned.
“Igman” was the name that followed him;
his valor is more than words can tell.
Every soldier knew that steadfast cry:
“For Bosnia we stand—no turning back today!”
Izo, Izete, pride of Krayina,
Bosnian knight, guardian of the homeland.
While freedom’s call through Bosnia rings,
your noble deeds are praised and honored.
As long as the world and time endure,
the Five-Oh-Five shall never be forgotten.
While stars adorn the sky above Bosnia,
Izet Nanić shall never be forgotten.
The fifth of August, like a cloud of gray,
yet your sacred vow still lives today.
In every heart you left a guiding way:
guard our freedom and Bosnia’s cherished land.
While Krajina rests in liberty,
your honored name shall never fade.
A legend and a knight in Krayina’s song,
forever you shall live in Bosnia’s heart.
Izo, Izete, pride of Krayina,
Bosnian knight, guardian of the homeland.
While freedom’s call through Bosnia rings,
your noble deeds are praised and honored.
As long as the world and time endure,
the Five-Oh-Five shall never be forgotten.
While stars adorn the sky above Bosnia,
Izet Nanić shall never be forgotten.
While stars adorn the sky above Bosnia,
Izet Nanić shall never be forgotten.
