(Created page for Amanet majci. I've been looking at the definition for the word. It's a Turkish loan word and I've seen it as "behest", "vow", "trust" like a "trust fund", "will"... the list goes on. Not sure how to translate it, but I've left it like this. Feel free to change it.) |

[ | The song is a message to the speaker's mother if he were to die on the battlefield. The word "amanet" is a Turkish loan word, deriving from "emanet", which means a trust (i.e. a will or inheritance).<ref>Škaljić, Abdulah (1966). ''Turcizmi u srpskohrvatskom jeziku''.

Although the song is short with two verses, the overall tone is bittersweet. | ||

<poem lang="en"> | <poem lang="en"> | ||
I greet you mother from afar | |||
And I am going where there is death | |||
To avenge the Serbian name of the people | |||
That defend justice and freedom | |||
In the will I left you, mother | |||
To guard it like the ardent sun | |||
If I fall, protect my son | |||
Grandfather's estate is up to him now | |||
May he celebrate yearly | |||
On the day of our Slava, Saint John | |||
