Music and lyrics

Unlike the Siđi Rašo songs, "Radovane, srpski sine" is only about five minutes long. The song's opening verse asks why Radovan left the mountains; a callback to the Siđi Rašo duology. While the songwriter remains anonymous, its similarity to the first installment, "Siđi Rašo sa planine" indicates that the songs may have been written by the same songwriter. The song gives a warning to the Serb who was responsible for betraying Radovan and reassures Radovan that he is still beloved by his people.

Music Video

Clips of Dagan Dabić are spliced in-between the performance footage.

While not an official music video, Miško would perform "Radovane, srpski sine" with the group Викомице on RTV Vikom. The performance would splice clips of an actor dressed as Radovan in his Dragan Dabić disguise speaking where instrumentals would be. While it is unknown when exactly the performance aired, the earliest surviving upload would be as early as September 23, 2008. The broadcast would also have a watermark at the top right with the letters "CNN". It is unknown if it is meant to be a satirical jab at the American news network of the same name, represents a broadcasting company within Serbia, or if had any significance at all.
