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.

It is one of four songs in the album to receive an official video. The official music video currently has 1.1 million views on YouTube, making it one of the most popular songs on the album.

In other media, the last verse is one of the songs referenced in the 1992 article, "Šta pevaju Srbi i Hrvati?"[1] In the 2008 edition of the Croatian-produced Eurovision parody Četnovizija, a crowd from a concert is seen dancing and singing the song.[2]

Music and lyrics

"Stan'te paše i ustaše" is the first song to mention Čaprazlije, where Baja's brother Novak was stationed.[3] The line "Kako si mi moj rođeni 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

Like other music videos for the Nina Trejd albums in Najveći hitovi, this one is simplistic. 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.

Lyrics

Lyrics:

U krajni gde sam rodio se
Sad se neke uniforme nose
Moj je narod odavno u borbi
Mojoj braći glava je u torbi
 
Stan'te paše i ustaše
Ne dirajte to je naše
U nama je srce lavlje
Mi branimo pravoslavlje
 
Na Kupresu krvave su zore
Čaprazlije u plamenu gore
Svakog dana padaju granate
Kako si mi moj rođeni brate
 
Stan'te paše i ustaše
Ne dirajte to je naše
U nama je srce lavlje
Mi branimo pravoslavlje
 
Od kako je bog stvorio ljude
Uvek drugi dođu pa nam sude
Uvek neko u Srbina dira
Ni u Bosni nema više mira
 
Stan'te paše i ustaše
Ne dirajte to je naše
U nama je srce lavlje
Mi branimo pravoslavlje
