Otkad ovaj svijet postoji | |||
Stalno ginu Srbi moji | |||
Preko puta balvan pade | Preko puta balvan pade | ||
Stavili smo barikade | |||
Radili su nama svašta | |||
Više Srbin ne oprašta | |||
Otkad sunce zemlju grije | |||
Otkad troglas stijene vije | |||
Srbi ginu i krv liju | Srbi ginu i krv liju | ||
Drugi pišu istoriju | |||
U životu sve se | U životu sve se mijenja | ||
Osim Srba i kamenja | |||
Dok očima svojim gledam | |||
Knina ne dam, Knina ne dam | Knina ne dam, Knina ne dam | ||
