"Bila jednom jedna zemlja" (Serbian Cyrillic: "Била једном једна земља", lit. "Once Upon A Time There Was A Land") is the title track to the album of the same name and performed by prominent Serb war singer Baja Mali Knindža and Riblja Čorba front man Bora Čorba. Despite being on a Braća sa Dinare album, Lujan and Novak do not perform on the track. It is one of few songs in Baja's discography whose title isn't referenced in the song.

Music and lyrics

The song opens with the pair singing an excerpt from the Partizan version "Kozaračko kolo", a song which was popular with the aforementioned group. The song is critical of the former SFRY president, Josip Broz Tito saying that he is to blame for the war and that despite liberating Yugoslavia, he never resolved conflict between nations. The song closes out on the Chetnik song, "Spremte se spremte, četnici".

Both Bora and Baja take turns singing each verse. They sing in unison on the bridge and beginning and end of the song. There's a small skit in between verses.

Lyrics

Lyrics: Oj Kozaro, joj oj Kozaro Moja gusta šumo Što se sada ratuje, što smo pukli skroz Kriv je Josip Broz, kriv je Josip Broz Što se Juga osipa Mnogi krive Josipa A u stvari krivi svi smo Voleli se nikad nismo Kakvo bratstvo i jedinstvo Sve su komunjare, fukare i fu njare Što je ovo majko ti božija Gradovi su spaljeni, popaljeno žito Kriv je samo Tito, kriv je samo Tito Što se Juga osipa Mnogi krive Josipa A u stvari krivi svi smo Voleli se nikad nismo Kakvo bratstvo i jedinstvo Sve su komunjare, fukare i fu njare Pa ljudi je l' to moguće Što je ratno stanje, što bežim od noža Kriv je samo Joža, kriv je samo Joža Što se Juga osipa, Mnogi krive Josipa A u stvari krivi svi smo, Voleli se nikad nismo Kakvo bratstvo i jedinstvo Spremte se spremte četnici Silna će borba da bude
