"Braćo moja preko okeana" (Serbian Cyrillic: "Браћо моја преко океана", lit. "My Brothers Across the Ocean") is a song written and performed by prominent Serb war singer Baja Mali Knindža. It is the second track in Baja's debut album, Ne dam Krajine.
Since its release in 1992, its only known live performance was in 2012 with slightly altered lyrics.[1] In the remastered release of the album, the song is prematurely cut off at the end in the iTunes release.
Music and lyrics
It is first of many songs in Baja's discography to mention leader of the Chetnik Dinara Division Momčilo Đujić. Like most songs written about Đujić the song wishes for the vojvoda to return, although would criticize him for not returning when the war broke out. This is one of two songs to be written in this way with the other being "Ima Boga, ima pravde" from the 1995 album, Idemo dalje.
The song itself is more melancholic musically compared to the other tracks on the album.
Lyrics
Lyrics:Braćo moja preko okeana, |
Lyrics (English):My brothers across the ocean, |
