Music and lyrics

Performance on RTS (circa 1993).

The song is about how Krajina's people's spirit is not falling, how they keep together and sing, so ustašas are powerless against them. Overall, this song's mood is happiness.

Music video

The video starts with happy people, including Baja, walking around Knez Mihajlova street in Belgrade. The video then switches to a closeup of Baja singing near a tree. Just before the chorus, video switches to the same street where Baja sings and walks towards the camera. The video next switches to closeups of Belgradeans until the next verse, where Baja proceeds to sit down and start singing. Next chorus is closeups of smiling Baja in different spots on the same street. Next verse starts with Baja sitting far away and singing and ends on a closeup. During the chorus he is slowly walking towards the camera with people standing behind him. Chorus ends with a closeup near a tree.

Lyrics

Lyrics: Sa Dinare pesme bruje, do srpskog se mora čuje, od Svilaje do Karina, od Štikova sve do Knina Pjeva Srpska Krajina, a dušmani bježe, Krajišnici pjevaju kad im je najteže Odjekuje pjesma stara od Petrovca i Drvara, sve se ori do Strmice i do crkve Lazarice Pjeva Srpska Krajina, a dušmani bježe, Krajišnici pjevaju kad im je najteže S Velebita, ko nekada, Žegara i Zelengrada, zapjevali hrabri borci, Bukovčani, kršni momci Pjeva Srpska Krajina, a dušmani bježe, Krajišnici pjevaju kad im je najteže

Lyrics (English): In Dinara, the songs resound, they must be heard to the Serbian land, from Svilaja to Karina, from Štikovo all the way to Knin The Serbian Krajina sings, and the enemies flee, the Krajina people sing when it is hardest for them The old song echoes from Petrovac and Drvar, it resonates all the way to Strmica and to the church of Lazarica The Serbian Krajina sings, and the enemies flee, the Krajina people sing when it is hardest for them From Velebit, like in the past, Žegara and Zelengrad, the brave fighters sang, the Bukovčani, sturdy lads The Serbian Krajina sings, and the enemies flee, the Krajina people sing when it is hardest for them
