"Živeće ovaj narod" (Serbian Cyrillic: "Живеће овај народ", lit. "These People Will Live On") is the title track of the album of the same name performed by prominent war singer Baja Mali Knindža. The song is known to have had some play on the radio and had some appearances in live setlists in its year of release. While it faded in obscurity post-war, it would gain a cult following with the release of the remastered version.

Music and lyrics

"Živeće ovaj narod" is the only known occasion in Baja's solo career where the song contains the phrase "God is a Serb". The song is about how Serbs will continue to live on even if people are against them. The chorus notes the perseverance the Serbs have, already surviving the tribulations the Ustasha gave them decades prior.

Lyrics

Lyrics: Mogu da nas mrze da nas ne vole al' Srbinu niko ništa ne može Živeće ovaj narod i posle ustaša jer i Bog je Srbin nebesa su naše Mogu da nas mrze da pale i ruše mi imamo dušu oni su bez duše Živeće ovaj narod i posle ustaša jer i Bog je Srbin nebesa su naše Mogu da nas mrze dušmani od reda al' Srbi su najjači rekao mi deda Živeće ovaj narod i posle ustaša jer i Bog je Srbin nebesa su naše

Lyrics (English): They can hate us and not love us but nobody can do anything to a Serb These people will live on even after the Ustasha because God is a Serb and paradise is ours They can hate us burn us and destroy us we have a soul they are soulless These people will live on even after the Ustasha because God is a Serb and paradise is ours They can hate us the enemies across us but the Serbs are stronger said my grandfather These people will live on even after the Ustasha because God is a Serb and paradise is ours
