Horkestar - lyrics

The construction song

English translation by Ognjen Miljanić

The will of stone and those muscles
Rising from our lonely fight
Country whole will start to follow
C'mon comrade, join our might.

Hands in labor, hearts in flames
Our song is heard aloud.
With a sickle and a hammer:
The sleep of calm and the joy of proud.

Work and work, build and drill, scrape and
Dig and give you strength
In all beauty, soon we shall see
Our homeland in its width and length.

The hand of steel creates wonders
And so does our healthy mind,
In any place, with strong willpower,
we'll make factory, road and railways.

Our wonder's here already
Turning dark nights into days
Dreams become real and steady
And our reality will be like dream.

Work and work, build and drill, scrape and
Dig and give you strength
In all beauty, soon we shall see
Our homeland in its width and length.
