This is one of the four national anthems in the world with no lyrics, in order to make it more neutral regarding the communities.

But in 2009, some lyrics proposed by Dušan Šestić (composer of the anthem) and Benjamin Isovićby, were accepted by a Parliamentary commission. However, they still need the approval of different administrative levels.

These lyrics clearly aim to be neutral and unit the communities together.

You're the light of the soul

Eternal fire's flame
Mother of ours, o land of Bosnia
I belong to you
The beautiful blue sky
Of Herzegovina
In the heart are your rivers
Your mountains
Proud and famous
Land of ancestors
You shall live in our hearts
Ever more
Generations of yours
Show up as one
We go into the future
Together!
We go into the future
Together!
