What Does The English Translation Mean Of Croatian National Anthem?

Croatia’s national song, also referred to as “Our Beautiful Homeland,” was composed long before the country attained its independence. Experts assertion that Antun Mihanovi’s 1835 poem “Horvatska domovina” (the “Croatian motherland”) is where the song’s lyrics are originated from.

A little over a decade later, in 1846, Austrian composer Josip Runjanin allegedly took inspiration from the recitative “Ah! O sole, più ratto” from Donizetti’s opera Lucia di Lammermoor to adapt the lyrics to a melody. Josip Wendl, the army bandmaster of Runjanin, later modified the tune for a brass ensemble.

The song was only made Croatia’s official national anthem in 1972, along with other Croatian Constitutional Amendments. The Coat of Arms, the Flag, and the National Anthem of the Republic of Croatia Act, as well as the 1974 and 1990 constitutions, in which its lyrics were significantly altered, confirmed it.
