"Da ne bješe Nikšićana" (Serbian Cyrillic: "Да не бјеше Никшићана", lit. "If They Weren't From Nikšić") is a song written and performed by prominent Serb war singer Baja Mali Knindža. Unlike most songs on the album, this one is dedicated to the Montenegrins who were allies with Yugoslavia during the war.

Lyrics
Lyrics:
Tamo pored plavog mora, borila se Crna Gora
Kad je bilo stani pani, stizali su Nikšićani
Kada ono borba poče kod Goražda i kod Foče
Reci sestro, gorska vilo, kako li je tamo bilo
I po kiši i po blatu, Dubrovniku i Cavtatu
I Konavli i Čilipi, Crnogorci kad zaškripi
Da ne bješe Nikšićana i momaka iz Berana
Uvelo bi naše cvijeće kod Trebinja i Bileće
Sa ne bješe div-junaka sa Lovćena i Žabljaka
Po granama palo inje, ajmo braćo na Cetinje
Kolašinci moji mili, junačine vazda bili
Đe najlepša sviće zora, tamo ispod Durmitora

Lyrics (English):
There by the blue sea, Montenegro fought,
When there was a stand or fall, the people from Nikšić arrived,
When the battle began near Goražde and Foča.
Tell me, sister, mountain fairy, how was it there,
Both in the rain and in the mud, in Dubrovnik and Cavtat,
In Konavle and Čilipi, when the Montenegrins creaked.
If it weren't for the Nikšić people and the lads from Berane,
Our flowers would have withered near Trebinje and Bileća,
If it weren't for the mighty heroes from Lovćen and Žabljak.
Frost fell on the branches, let’s go brothers to Cetinje,
My dear Kolašinci, always brave,
Where the most beautiful dawn shines, there beneath Durmitor.
