"'''Osvetite glavu Milanovu'''" (Serbian Cyrillic: "Осветите главу Миланову", <small>lit.</small> "Avenge the Head of Milan") is a song written and performed by Željko Samardžić Panonac. It is the closing track to the A-side of ''Srpske patriotske pesme'' and serves as the closing track to the [[Srpske patriotske pesme (VHS)|VHS of the same name]]. It is one of three songs that has not been officially uploaded by any YouTube channels owned and operated by Panonac.<br />
<br />
==Music and lyrics==<br />
Although the song tells of the demise of a "Milan", it is unknown if it is based on actual historical events. The lyrics "blizu Cerske postradalo srba" could refer to the battle of Cer. However the stanzas that follow contradict this as the battle of Cer was primarily between Serbia and the Austro-Hungarian empire with the Ottoman Empire on the opposite side of the country. <br />
<br />
A translation by velikasrbija.net suggests that "Cerske" refers to the village of Cerska in present-day Bosnia and Hercegovina. During World War 2, the municipality in which Cerska is located in, Vlasenica was part of the Independent State of Croatia. While crimes did occur within the municipality during that era, there is currently no documentation that these crimes occurred specifically within the village itself. There is also no documentation of crimes happening within the village during the Yugo Wars that could support this interpretation, suggesting that the song is a fictional scenario that intended to boost morale.<br />

<poem><br />
Oj Milane, Srbine bez mane<br />
Ustaške te umoriše rane<br />
osta kući udovica mlada<br />
svjeću pali, još se tebi nada<br />
šta ćeš tamo gde je večna tama<br />
kada ti je mesto među nama<br />
<br />
nema više belije goluba<br />
blizu cerske postradalo srba<br />
postradalo sa puškom u ruci<br />
mučenički pobiše ih turci<br />
<br />
a tebe su bacili na travu<br />
i na kolac nabili ti glavu<br />
pa su onda slavili alaha<br />
pored glave mrtvoga junaka<br />
<br />
sinovi ti stalno ime zovu<br />
osvetite glavu Milanovu<br />
bračo mila celivajte rane<br />
'svete tatu, bijte muslimane<br />

===Lyrics (English):===<br />
<poem lang="en"><br />
Oh Milan, a Serb without flaws<br />
Ustaša wounds tire you<br />
She stays home, a young widow <br />
Lights a candle, still hoping for you<br />
What are you doing in eternal darkness<br />
When your place is with us<br />
<br />
There are no more white pigeons<br />
Near Cer Serbs suffered<br />
Wounded with a rifle in hand<br />
Martyred by the Turks<br />
<br />
But they threw you on the grass<br />
And nailed your head on a stake<br />
Then glorified Allah<br />
Next to the head of a dead hero<br />
<br />
Your sons constantly are crying out your name <br />
Avenge the head of Milan<br />
Dear Brothers, kiss the wounds<br />
Avenge your father, fight the Muslims<br />
</poem><br />
