The Slovenian
National Anthem
Commemorating the Independence of Slovenia June 25, 1991
Zive naj vsi narodi
Ki hrepene dock at dan.
Da koder sonce hodi
Prepir iz sevta bo pregnan.
Ko rojak prost bo vsak
Ne vrag, le sosed bomejak.
Ko rojak prost bo vsak
Ne vrag, le sosed bo mejak. |

God's blessing in all nations
Who long and work for that bright day.
When o're earth's habitations No war, no
strife shall hold it's sway.
Who long to see that all men are free
No more shall foes but neighbors be. |

The partnership between Bethlehem,
PA. UNITED STATES, and MURSKA SOBOTA, Slovenia, in EUROPE, is
the result of many years of continued friendly relationship
between the Slovenian-Americans in Bethlehem, most of whose
ancestors came from Slovenia's Murska Sobota Prekmurje (Prake-MOOR-ya)
area, and relatives, friends still living in Slovenia. The
BMSSCA, celebrated it's tenth year in existence in 2006, invites
all who share in the Slovenian-American heritage to join us as
our membership continues to grow in the twenty-first century. |
