	Despite the format of the song's name, it is not an acronym or initialism. ~~Similarly~~, the lyrics ~~have nothing~~ to do with ~~America~~, ~~and instead are about~~ a ~~man named Slavko Lazarević~~ "~~Amerika~~".		Despite the format of the song's name it is not an acronym or initialism, rather it is a nickname for Slavko Lazarević who was a member of the SDS leadership in Ozren.<ref>Murisa Škapur. "Što prodade Ozren muslimanu?". ''Ljiljan''. 15 September 1993. Archived digital version via [https://infobiro.ba/article/1143917/sto-prodade-ozren-muslimanu-murisa-skapur infobiro.ba]. Retrieved 12 April 2024.</ref> It is a song dedicated to Amerika, saying that he will bring the people of Ozren to freedom. The stanza "Kao Lazar po Kosovu ravnom" compares him to prince Lazar who was born in, fought and died in the Battle of Kosovo.<ref>Tony Bunting. "[https://www.britannica.com/event/Battle-of-Kosovo-1389-Balkans Battle of Kosovo]". ''britannica.com''. Retrieved 12 April 2025.</ref> This is because the surname "Lazarević" means "son of Lazar" and according to the lyrics, Amerika is also from Kosovo. The use of "ravna", meaning "flat" is to create contrast with Ozren mountain as when describing land, the word is used to note the lack varying altitudes within a region.<ref>"[https://dictzone.com/serbian-croatian-english-dictionary/%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%2C%20ravan раван, ravan meaning in English]". dictzone.com.

			From his eyes, a live fire blazes
			Have you heard of that Serb?
			Do you know Slavko Lazarević, brothers?

			Brother Slavko, our Lazar
			All of Ozren thanks you
			Help our people
			To make it to freedom

			Slavko goes to the beloved mountain
			Like Lazar from the flat Kosovo
			He swore back then as a child
			To make Ozren Mountain glorious

			Brother Slavko, our Lazar
			All of Ozren thanks you
			Help our people

			From Kosovo and all the way to here
			Serbian mothers birth heroes
			History of the Ozren people
			Will write it in Slavko's name

Ziwi: No idea who Slavko actually is. I looked him up and I could only find a guslar. I don’t think that’s the same guy.

Ko to gazi pitomom planinom,
Iz očiju sjeva živa vatra,
Jeste li čuli za toga Srbina,
Znatel' braćo Lazarević Slavka

Brate Slavko, naš Lazare,
Svi Ozrenci tebe hvale,
Pomozi nam mili rode,
Da stignemo do slobode

Ide Slavko voljenom planinom,
Kao Lazar po Kosovu ravnom,
Zakleo se još tad kao dijete,
Ozren Goru učiniti slavnom

Brate Slavko, naš Lazare,
Svi Ozrenci tebe hvale,
Pomozi nam mili rode,
Da stignemo do slobode

Od Kosova pa sve na ovamo,
Srpske majke rađaše junake,
Istorija ozrenskog naroda,
Zapisaće ime svoga Slavke

Brate Slavko, naš Lazare,
Svi Ozrenci tebe hvale,
Pomozi nam mili rode,
Da stignemo do slobode
