Pride of the BH Nation

About the Track

“Ponos nacije BiH” (Pride of the BH Nation) is a fan anthem dedicated to the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina (“Zmajevi” / The Dragons). The song captures the powerful energy of the stands, the roaring stadium chants, and celebrates the distinctive Bosnian defiance (inat), unity, and fighting spirit on the field.

The song was released on May 18, 2026. The complete lyrics, music, and arrangement were written by Ismet Polovina, while the striking stadium-like atmosphere and backing vocals were delivered by Alan Trtić, Suad Hadžović, and Enes Muslič.

Lyrics (English Translation)

When defiance wakes up in a hero
On the field for the homeland
A roar rises from the stands, truly
At the top of our lungs and passionately
A roar rises from the stands, truly
Cheering for the Dragons

Chorus:
Ale ale Ale ale
You are the pride of the nation
Ale ale ale ale
Of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Play with your heart, brave and bold
Together until victory
Let the roar rise, let the stadium thunder
We are singing our songs
Let the roar rise, let the stadium thunder
Our one and only, we love you

Chorus (repetition):
Ale ale Ale ale
You are the pride of the nation
Ale ale ale ale
Of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Ale ale Ale ale
You are the pride of the nation
Ale ale ale ale
Of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Ale ale Ale ale
You are the pride of the nation
Ale ale ale ale
Of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Of Bosnia and Herzegovina
