U tem Somboru

U tem Somboru
svega na volju:
svega ima do istina,
da i žene piju vina
u tem Somboru.

Otkako je ta
naša varmeda,
od to' doba naše snaše
zavoleše tamburaše
u tem Somboru.

Ženit cu se ja:
žena mi treba
koja znade svašta radit,
a ja cu se gospodarit
u tem Somboru.

Sombor, situated in the nortwestern part of Backa Plain, is famous for its greenery, cultural life, 18th- and 19th- century centre, and for being the hometown of famous names such as Milan Konjovic, Veljko Petrovic, Radivoj Korac, Zvonko Bogdan...

During its more than 600-year-old history, Sombor has changed its name several times. One of the oldest was Czoborszentmihály, originating from the Czobor family, the owners of the area in the 14th century.

An unofficial name used for the town is Ravangrad (Flat town).
