Uz Maršala Tita

"Uz Maršala Tita" ("With Marshal Tito"), originally titled "Pjesma o pesti" ("Song about the fist"), is a Yugoslav Partisan anthem praising Josip Broz Tito, the country's liberation movement leader during World War II. The original Serbo-Croatian lyrics were written by Vladimir Nazor and the music was composed by Oskar Danon.[1]

Written in 1943 when relations between Josip Broz Tito and the Soviet leadership were close, the first verse of the song's original version read "Uz Tita i Staljina, dva junačka sina" ("With Tito and Stalin, two heroic sons"). According to the song's composer Oskar Danon, people spontaneously rechristened this verse as "Uz maršala Tita, junačkoga sina" ("With Marshal Tito, the heroic son") at its first hearing in 1943 at the second session of AVNOJ in Jajce,[1][2] at which Tito was named the Marshal of Yugoslavia.[3] The original version was deprecated from use in performances and print in songbooks after the Tito–Stalin split in 1948. It has been translated into all national languages of SFR Yugoslavia and minority languages such as Slovak (So Súdruhom Titom).[4]

One aspect of the Ustaše ideology during the World War II-era Independent State of Croatia was minimizing the Slavic origin of the Croats, purporting that Croats are descendants of the Goths.[5] The middle stanza of this song addresses that by outright refutation of the Gothic theory and by reaffirming the Slavic origins of all South Slavs.

In the late 1970s, not long before his death, Josip Broz Tito visited North Korea, China, and the Soviet Union.[10] Upon his arrival in North Korea, the DPRK Ceremonial Choir performed "Uz Maršala Tita" in Serbo-Croatian to honour the Yugoslav president.[11][12]
