Knez Lazar - Battle of Kosovo 1389 | Epic Serbian Music

Описание: This song is dedicated to Knez (Prince) Lazar Hrebeljanović and the Battle of Kosovo in 1389, one of the most important events in medieval Serbian history. Prince Lazar ruled central Serbia and led a Christian coalition army against the Ottoman forces at Kosovo Field on Vidovdan (St. Vitus Day).

Although the Battle of Kosovo did not have a clear military winner, its historical and symbolic impact has endured for centuries. The death of Prince Lazar and his decision to face overwhelming odds became a powerful symbol of sacrifice, faith, and resistance, preserved through Serbian epic poetry and tradition. He was later canonized as Saint Lazar by the Serbian Orthodox Church.

This Serbian epic song blends historical themes with modern musical production, aiming to introduce international listeners to the story of Kosovo 1389 and the legacy of Prince Lazar. It is created for fans of epic music, medieval history, and cultural heritage from the Balkans.

Ova pesma je posvećena Knezu Lazaru Hrebeljanoviću i Kosovskoj bici 1389. godine, jednom od najznačajnijih događaja u srpskoj istoriji. Knez Lazar, vladar Moravske Srbije, poveo je srpsku vojsku u odlučujući sukob protiv Osmanlija na Kosovu Polju, na dan Vidovdan.

Iako je Kosovska bitka bila vojno neodlučna, njen istorijski i kulturni značaj je nemerljiv. Smrt Kneza Lazara i njegov izbor da se suprotstavi nadmoćnoj sili postali su simbol žrtve, vere i otpora, koji se vekovima prenosi kroz srpsku epiku, pesme i predanja. Zbog toga je Knez Lazar kanonizovan kao Sveti Knez Lazar, a Kosovo 1389. zauzima posebno mesto u srpskom kolektivnom pamćenju.

Ova srpska epska pesma kombinuje istorijsku tematiku sa modernim muzičkim izrazom, stvarajući emotivnu atmosferu koja odaje počast junacima Kosovske bitke. Namenjena je svima koji poštuju srpsku istoriju, srednjovekovnu Srbiju i nasleđe koje je oblikovalo nacionalni identitet.

Lyrics(English/Serbian):
Lazar, Lazar, junak naš!
Lazar, Lazar, our hero!

Lazar, Lazar, snaga i glas!
Lazar, Lazar, strength and voice!

Na Kosovu stoji hrabri knez,
On Kosovo stands the brave prince,

Za narod svoj, daje sve.
For his people, he gives everything.

Mač u ruci, srce gori,
Sword in hand, heart on fire,

Slobodu čuva, nikad ne spori.
He guards freedom, never retreats.

Lazar, Lazar, junak naš!
Lazar, Lazar, our hero!

Lazar, Lazar, snaga i glas!
Lazar, Lazar, strength and voice!

Vojska hrli, boj se vodi,
Armies rush, the battle begins,

Zemlja plače, krv se rodi.
The land cries, blood is born.

Ali knez stoji, hrabar i jak,
But the prince stands, brave and strong,

Za narod svoj, za pravdu svak.
For his people, for justice for all.

Lazar, Lazar, junak naš!
Lazar, Lazar, our hero!

Lazar, Lazar, snaga i glas!
Lazar, Lazar, strength and voice!

Vidovdan, Vidovdan, sećanje traje,
Vidovdan, Vidovdan, the memory lives on,

Lazar u srcima, večno ostaje.
Lazar remains forever in our hearts.

Lazar, Lazar, junak naš!
Lazar, Lazar, our hero!

Lazar, Lazar, snaga i glas!
Lazar, Lazar, strength and voice!

Lazar, Lazar, junak naš!
Lazar, Lazar, our hero!

Za narod svoj, daje sve!
For his people, he gives everything!
