This song would be the first to mention Baja's cousin Lazo, his brother Novak, and his friend Jovo Kalaba. It is also the first of many songs that mention the villages Gubin, Sajković, and Provo.

This version is fairly basic with Baja either singing or wondering around Knin Castle with occasional close-up shots. When Baja sings "S tri se prsta krstim/Moja desna ruka", he proudly displays the three fingers. | This version is fairly basic with Baja either singing or wondering around Knin Castle with occasional close-up shots.

This music video has Baja wearing the same attire seen in the "[[Božić je]]" and "[[Kad sam bio mali]]" videos. It was originally uploaded to the Jugodisk YouTube channel in 2015 with the video being saturated and the audio quality being poor and predominantly in the right channel.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQViWp_RyEo Baja Mali Knindza - Ne dam Krajine - (Official Video 1993)]. ''Jugodisk Beograd''. 25 November 2015. Retireved 28 November 2023.</ref> It was upscaled with high quality audio in 2020,<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTcQ0rag0GE Baja Mali Knindza - Ne dam Krajine - (Official video 1991)HD]. ''Jugodisk Beograd''. 17 November 2023. Retrieved 28 November 2023.</ref> though both 2015 and 2020 versions do not provide any sort of context as to where the video originated from. It is speculated that it is either from a Jugodisk VHS compilation or was originally made for ''[[Najveći hitovi (VHS)|Najveći hitovi]]'', but was scrapped in favor of the second version. | |||
