(→Music and lyrics: "oy" should be "oi", but it's used by the Brits. It is most commonly translated as "oh" so we'll be using that. This is a rewritten collaboration with Balkanmapper, who has helped me with translation and the music and lyrics department.) |

Music and lyrics
In the verse "Oj Alija, možeš li slanine/Da ti đedo sa tavana skine" Baja uses irony to create a double entendre. Slanina, translated as "bacon", is mentioned to provoke the Islamic faith as the consumption of the food is forbidden for Muslims. In addition, by specifically mentioning a grandfather is getting the bacon, Baja references the common belief that a majority of Bosnian Muslims are converted Christians, which further contextualizes the nationalistic character of the song.
