The first appearance of "Hey, Slavs" in Yugoslavia was during the [[Illyrian movement]]. [[Dragutin Rakovac]] translated the song, naming it "Hey, Illyrians" ({{langx|hr|Hej, Iliri}}). Until the [[Second World War]], the translation did not undergo many changes, except that the Illyrians became Slavs.<ref name="bbc">{{cite interview |url=https://www.bbc.com/serbian/lat/balkan-56804781 |title=Jugoslavija i istorija: "Hej Sloveni", pesma koja je bila više od himne |trans-title=Yugoslavia and history: "Hey Slavs", a song that was more than an anthem |interviewer-first=Tatjana |interviewer-last=Janković |first=Dario |last=Marušić |date=27 April 2021 |access-date=26 January 2023 |language=sh |publisher=BBC News na srpskom}}</ref>

In 1941 the [[Second World War]] engulfed the [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia]]. The [[Axis powers]] [[Invasion of Yugoslavia|invaded in early April]], and the Yugoslav royal army disintegrated and capitulated in just two and a half weeks. Since the [[Anthem of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia|old Yugoslav anthem]] included references to king and kingdom, the anti-royalist [[Yugoslav Partisans|Partisan]] resistance led by [[Josip Broz Tito]] and his [[Communist Party of Yugoslavia|Communist party]] decided to avoid it and opted for "Hey, Slavs" instead. The song was sung at both the first and second sessions of [[AVNOJ]], the legislative body of the resistance, and it gradually became the ''de facto'' national anthem of [[Democratic Federal Yugoslavia]] (new Yugoslavia).{{Citation needed|date=November 2020}}

The old state anthem was officially abandoned after liberation in 1945, but no new national anthem to replace it was officially adopted. There were several attempts to promote other, more specifically Yugoslav songs as the national anthem, but none gained much public support and "Hey, Slavs" continued to be used unofficially. The search for a better candidate continued up to 1988, while in 1977 the law only named the national anthem as "Hey, Slavs" as a temporary state anthem until a new one was adopted, which never happened.{{Citation needed|date=November 2020}}

"Hey, Slavs" under its Serbo-Croatian title "{{Lang|sh|Hej, Slaveni|italic=no}}" was therefore the [[national anthem]] of [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]] for a total of 48 years, from 1943 to 1992. With the formal adoption (inauguration) of Amendment IX to the Constitution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the song "Hey, Slavs" gained constitutional sanction as the national anthem on November 25, 1988. After 43 years of continued use as the ''de facto'' national anthem, the delegates simply brought the law in line with custom.<ref>Amandmani IX do XLVII na Ustav Socijalističke Federativne Republike Jugoslavije, "Službeni list SFRJ", br. 70/88, No. 932, pp. 1793-1806</ref>

Hej Slaveni, jošte živi
R[ij]eč (duh) naših d[j]edova
Dok za narod srce bije

Živi, živi duh slavenski
Živjet će v[j]ekov'ma
[[Repeat sign|𝄆]] Zalud pr[ij]eti ponor pakla
Zalud vatra groma [[Repeat sign|𝄇]]
Nek se sada i nad nama
Burom sve raznese

Zemlja nek se trese
Mi stojimo postojano
Kano klisurine

Hey, [[Slavs]], there still lives
the word (spirit) of our grandfathers
While for the nation beats the heart
of its sons!
There lives, there lives the Slavic spirit,
It will live for ages!

In vain the fire of thunder! 𝄇
Let now everything above us
be blown away by the [[Bora (wind)|bora]].
The stone cracks, the oak breaks,
Let the earth quake!
We stand firm
like the big cliffs,

of his homeland! 𝄇</poem>

Hej Slovani, naša reč

proti nam so steke 𝄇
Naj tedaj nad nami
strašna burja se le znese,
skala poka, dob se lomi,

Еј, Словени, жив е тука

Hey, [[Slavs]], herein lives on
the sacred word of our lineage
as long as the heart beats for [[Yugoslavia|our nation]]
from son to grandson!
The Slavic spirit lives on
forever in unity.

nor the blazes of thunder. 𝄇
May a [[Bora (wind)|bora]] devastate

Oak trees and ashen rocks will crack,
the earth will cave in:
For we stand at the doorstep of
gorges and bulwarks!

homeland to the enemy! 𝄇</poem>
