The song is said to be of Montenegrin origin, though it is unknown when the song was created. While it has been covered by folk artists, it also exists in a gusle format.

The song has no chorus, though each verse is repeated once.

1993 version (Majci Srpkinji)

This version has a slightly altered third verse. It is the only documented occasion of this version as the song's appearance in Moje najljepše pjesme is the regular. It is unknown why this version is different, though factors like misremembering, a regional difference, or personal choice could play a role. This is the most unique version of the song as its style is more akin to waltz than traditional folk.
