Music and lyrics
"Stan'te paÅ¡e i ustaÅ¡e" is the first song to mention Äaprazlije, where Baja's brother Novak was stationed.[2] The line "Kako si mi moj roÄeni brate" is a direct call to his brother as it appears in the same verse where the aforementioned town is mentioned.
The song also is the only occasion where Baja refers to Muslims as Pashas. "Pasha" was a title given to military commanders or high ranking officers in the Ottoman Empire.
Music video
The music video has a man in MOL68 fatigues and another in Lizard pattern in a deadlocked arm wrestle. Baja, dressed in an M93 shirt and Lizard pattern pants observes the wrestling. When Baja sings, there is a close up shot of him and when he stops, he continues to observe the battle. At the end of the music video, he crosses with three fingers, puts his arms behind him, and looks afar while the screen fades to yellow.
