Vostani Serbije

Vostani Serbije ("Arise, Serbia"; Востани Сербије/Востани Сербіѥ in original orthography; in modern form: Ustani Srbijo; Устани Србијо), also known as Pesna na insurekciju Serbijanov ("A poem on the insurrection of the Serbs"; Песна на инсурекцију Сербијанов), is a Serbian patriotic song, originally a poem written by Dositej Obradović (1739–1811), published in Vienna in 1804, "dedicated to Serbia and her brave warriors and sons and to their leader Georgije Petrović" at the beginning of the First Serbian Uprising that transformed into the Serbian Revolution against the Ottoman Empire. Obradović, delighted, happily and sincerely greeted the Serb uprising with this special, patriotic poem. Obradović extensively used the concept of "Mother Serbia" in his works, including this poem which is the most patriotic of all of his poems. In it, he calls on a new Serbia, with overtones of memory on the Serbian Empire which had been long gone. Obradović became the first Minister of Education of Revolutionary Serbia.

The song was set to music written by Vartkes Baronijan, Zlatan Vauda and Ljuba Manasijević.

It was considered as a potential national anthem following the replacement of the old Yugoslav anthem Hej Sloveni during the break-up of Yugoslavia. In 1992, Vostani Serbije and March on the Drina were proposed as the anthem of Serbia along with Bоže pravde.

Ahead of the 2000 general elections in Serbia, an altered version of the song was used in campaigns (...you have slept enough, and joked enough, now wake up, and awaken the Serbs, to vote!).

Lyrics
The full song consists of six stanzas, but usually only the first two (in bold) are performed on public occasions for reasons of brevity.
