Žive naj vsi narodi Ki hrepene dočakat' dan Da koder sonce hodi Prepir iz sveta bo pregnan Da rojak Prost bo vsak Ne vrag, le sosed bo mejak! Da rojak Prost bo vsak Ne vrag, le sosed bo Ne vrag, le sosed bo mejak!	[ʒi.ʋe naj ʍsi nàː.ɾo.di] [ki xɾɛ.pɛ.ne dɔ.t͡ʃàː.kad‿dáːn] [dá kòː.dəɾ sóːn.t͡sɛ xo.di] [pɾɛ.piɾ is sʋe.ta bóː pɾɛg.nàn] [dá ɾɔ.jàk] [pɾɔ́zd‿bóː ʍsàk] [nɛ́ ʋɾàk lɛ́ sɔ̀ː.sɛd‿bóː mɛ.jàːk] [dá ɾɔ.jàk] [pɾɔ́zd‿bóː ʍsàk] [nɛ́ ʋɾàk lɛ́ sɔ̀ː.sɛd‿bóː] [nɛ́ ʋɾàg‿lɛ́ sɔ̀ː.sɛd‿bóː mɛ.jàːk]	Let all the nations thrive That yearn to await the day So where the Sun walks The quarrel will be banished from the world So compatriot Will each be free Not a devil, just a neighbour will the adjoining-land's dweller be! So compatriot Will each be free Not a devil, just a neighbour will be Not a devil, just a neighbour will the adjoining-land's dweller be!	God's blessing on all nations Who long and work for that bright day When o'er earth's habitations No war, no strife shall hold its sway Who long to see That all men free No more shall foes, but neighbours be! Who long to see That all men free No more shall foes, but neighbours be! No more shall foes, but neighbours be!
