Lyrics (English Translation)
Forward Željo, just keep going
Wherever you play, we are there
You will never be alone
We are your sons
Forward Željo, just keep going
Wherever you play, we are there
You will never be alone
We are your sons.
Željo’s song is heard
Echoing through Grbavica
Go Blues, let it be known
We are better than the “Hordes of Evil.”
Everyone is afraid of a Maniac
Who doesn’t stand with him on the South Stand
The South is our sacred side
Chosen by the color blue.
God gave the blue sky
So he could watch Željo from above
We are aware of all that
And we love our Željo.
Chorus (Repeat):
Forward Željo, just keep going
Wherever you play, we are there
You will never be alone
We are your sons.
Everyone is afraid of a Maniac
Who doesn’t stand with him on the South Stand
The South is our sacred side
Chosen by the color blue.
God gave the blue sky
So he could watch Željo from above
We are aware of all that
And we love our Željo.
Finale:
Forward Željo, just keep going
Wherever you play, we are there
You will never be alone
We are your sons.
