Slovenec sem (I am Slovenian) by Gustav Ipavec (1831-1908)

Najstarejši izmed znanih skladateljev, velik domoljub in slavni župan mesta Šentjur. Pisal je predvsem zborovsko glasbo. Najbolj znana je Slovenec sem.
Izvajalci: Slovenski komorni zbor pod vodstvom M. Cudermana.

The oldest amongst famous slovene composers from romantic era. Song for men's choir is about national awareness, because Slovenia was then under Austrian reign.
Lyrics:

I am Slovenian, that said my mother when she held me in arms.
Therefore i know well: I am Slovenian.

I am Slovenian, that are saying my heart and mind.
Therefore i can prodly say: I am Slovenian.

I love my home-land, I burn for its honour and fame.
What i feel, that i say: I am Slovenian.

I am Slovenian from birth to death. My devoteness can't be moved.
I hope that i will always be able to say: I am Slovenian.
