Lyrics
Lyrics:
Meni ovaj život ne treba
Sećanja će da me ubiju
Zbogom moja kućo rodna
Put pod noge pa u Srbiju
Sve je ovo bilo džabe
S'vatile su čak i babe
Sad mi brate mnogo žao
Za koga sam ratovao
Za dva dana sve je nestalo
Mislim moje srce vara me
'Mesto slavlja i veselja
Ostavili crne marame
Sve je ovo bilo džabe
S'vatile su čak i babe
Sad mi brate mnogo žao
Za koga sam ratovao
Kako srce da ne zaboli
Za koga sam borio se ja
Nema sreće i veselja
Ostala je tuga velika
Sve je ovo bilo džabe
S'vatile su čak i babe
Sad mi brate mnogo žao
Za koga sam ratovao

Lyrics (English):
I don't need this life
The memories will kill me
Bye, my old home
On my way to Serbia
All of this was for nothing
Even the old women realized it
Now, brother, I feel regret
Who did I fight for
Everything was gone in two days
I think my heart is deceiving me
Instead of celebrating and joy
I was left with black scarves
All of this was for nothing
Even the old women realized it
Now, brother, I feel regret
Who did I fight for
How can the heart not hurt
For whom did I fight
No happiness or joy
Only great sorrow remains
All of this was for nothing
Even the old women realized it
Now, brother, I feel regret
Who did I fight for
