Being an adaptation, "Gavrilo" alters the original poem, though most of these changes are meant to benefit lyrical flow rather than modernizing it (see: "[[Za koga sam ratovao]]" and "[[Pješke idem iz grada]]"). The most change occurs on the second verse (which serves as the song's chorus), as the direct mention to Žerajić changes to an indirect one with the song now referring him to "Soko Sivi" (<small>lit.</small> "Grey Falcon"). In addition to the name change, the last two stanzas are rearranged. | Being an adaptation, "Gavrilo" alters the original poem, though most of these changes are meant to benefit lyrical flow rather than modernizing it (see: "[[Za koga sam ratovao]]" and "[[Pješke idem iz grada]]").
