"Drma mi se na šubari cvet" (Serbian Cyrillic: "Дрма ми се на шубари цвет", lit. "The Flower on My Šubara Shakes") is a song performed by Željko Samardžić Panonac. It was some times mistaken for a title track due to its appearance on the album's cover.

Music and lyrics

The title of the song (and a part of the chorus) "Drma mi se na šubari cvet" derives from an old saying that has been a part of Serbian music for hundreds of years. However its documentation is so scarce, it is unknown if the flower was literal, a representation of a cockade that is sometimes seen adorning a šubara (a traditional winter hat), or if it has any meaning at all.

Lyrics

Lyrics: Oj Srpkinjo, zakiti me cvetom Jer od mene bolji ne hoda planetom Jer od mene bolji ne hoda planetom Zakiti me bombama, evo idem s’ bratom Srpske zemlje braniti, srcem i granatom Srpske zemlje braniti, srcem i granatom Drma mi se, drma mi se na šubari cvet Ne može nam, ne može nam ništa celi svet Drma mi se, drma mi se na šubari cvet Ne može nam, ne može nam ništa celi svet Oj Srbine, šta nam iko može Najjaci smo rode moj, kad se braća slože Najjaci smo rode moj, kad se braća slože Pa još kad harmonika uz mitraljez svira Kukala mu majka, ko Srbina dira Kukala mu majka, ko Srbina dira Drma mi se, drma mi se na šubari cvet Ne može nam, ne može nam ništa celi svet Drma mi se, drma mi se na šubari cvet Ne može nam, ne može nam ništa celi svet

Lyrics (English): Oh Serb woman, adorn me with flowers Because no one better than me walks this earth Because no one better than me walks this earth Adorn me with bombs, here I go with my brother Serbian lands to defend, with heart and grenades Serbian lands to defend, with heart and grenades It shakes, the flower on my šubara shakes No one, no one in the whole world can do anything to us It shakes, the flower on my šubara shakes No one, no one in the whole world can do anything to us Oh Serbs, what can anyone do to us My people, we are the strongest, when the brothers unite My people, we are the strongest, when the brothers unite And when the accordion plays with the machine gun May the mother cry, who touches a Serb May the mother cry, who touches a Serb It shakes, the flower on my šubara shakes No one, no one in the whole world can do anything to us It shakes, the flower on my šubara shakes No one, no one in the whole world can do anything to us
