Version 1
Tamo daleko, daleko od mora,
Tamo je selo moje, tamo je Srbija.

Tamo daleko, gde cveta limun žut,
Tamo je srpskoj vojsci jedini bio put.
Tamo je srpskoj vojsci jedini bio put.
Tamo daleko gde cveta beli krin,
Tamo su živote dali zajedno otac i sin.
Tamo su živote dali zajedno otac i sin.
Tamo gde tiha putuje Morava,
Tamo mi ikona osta, i moja krsna slava.
Tamo mi ikona osta, i moja krsna slava.
Tamo gde Timok, pozdravlja Veljkov grad,
Tamo mi spališe crkvu, u kojoj venčah se mlad.
Tamo mi spališe crkvu, u kojoj venčah se mlad.
Bez otadžbine, na Krfu živeh ja,
ali sam ponosno klic'o, živela Srbija!
ali sam ponosno klic'o, ŽIVELA SRBIJA!
Version 2
Tamo daleko, daleko od mora,
Tamo je selo moje, tamo je ljubav moja.
Tamo je selo moje, tamo je ljubav moja.
O zar je morala doć ', ta tužna nesrećna noć,
Kada si dragane moj, otiš'ou krvavi boj.
Tamo daleko, gde cveta limun žut,
Tamo je srpskoj vojsci jedini bio put.
Tamo je srpskoj vojsci jedini bio put.
Tamo daleko, daleko od mora,
Tamo je selo moje, tamo je Srbija.

Bez otadžbine, na Krfu živeh ja,
i opet veselo kličem, živela Srbija!
i opet veselo kličem, ŽIVELA SRBIJA!
Version 3
O zar je morala doć ', ta tužna nesrećna noć,
Kada si dragane moj, otiš'ou ljuti boj.
Tamo daleko, daleko kraj mora,
Tamo je selo moje,
Tamo je ljubav moja.
Bez otadžbine daleko, daleko živim ja,
i opet kličem burno, živela domovina!
O zar je morala doć ', ta tužna nesrećna noć,
Kada si dragane moj, otiš'ou ljuti boj.
Tamo daleko, gde cveću nema kraj,
Tamo su najdraži moji,
Tamo je pravi raj.
Tamo daleko kraj Save, Save i Dunava,
Tamo je varoš moja,
Tamo je moj rodni kraj!

There, far away, far from the sea.
My village is there, Serbia is there.

Far away where the lemons bloom.
There was the only way the Serbian army could go.

Far away where the lilies bloom.
There father and son gave their lives together.

Where the Morava flows quietly.
My icon and my family celebration stayed there.

There where Timok Veljko's city flows through,
There they burned the church where I got married young.
There they burned the church where I married young.
Without my homeland, I live in Corfu.
But I proudly say: LONG LIVE SERBIA!
But I proudly say: LONG LIVE SERBIA!
