| The warring clouds have vanished from the skies | B |

| Supreme above the Carniola's snowpeaks white | C |
| The lake of Bohinj calm in stillness lies | B |
| No sign of strife remains to outward sight | C |

| Is not this lake upon whose bank you stand | E |
| Brave Crtomir the image of your soul | F |
| The clash of arms has ceased throughout the land | E |
| Yet in your breast the storms of war still roll | F |
| If aught of life's dire ills I understand | E |
| The eternal worm takes yet more deadly toll | F |
| Battens on lifeblood in its inner lair | G |
| And reawakes the harpies of despair | G |
