Svi smo mi Radovan Karadžić
"Svi smo mi Radovan Karadžić" is the unofficial name given to the track present on side A for the album Svi smo mi ..... The singer, while commonly misattributed to Zoran Draganić, remains anonymous and the orchestra is unknown. Like most songs at time of release, its run time is longer than a typical song as its run time is around 15 minutes.
Music and lyrics
"Svi smo mi Radovan Karadžić" shares the same tune as "Radovanovo kolo", however it is unknown which came first nor if one song was inspired by the other. The song itself is structured like a gusle song. Similar to the song "Branićemo Radovana Karadžića", the song tells the US that they will never find Radovan and that the Serbian people refuse to turn him in. It also has commentary on the treatment of Serbs in Muslim areas during the war. The song ends on a fade out as a transition to the single's B side.

| Ameriko džaba trošis dana
Nikad nećeš naći Radovana Ameriko ne bilo ti traga Nećeš Raša odvesti do Haga Karadžiću, Crne Gore čedo Ko bi tebe Americi pred'o? Mnogo novca za nagradu nude Da Radovan isporučen bude
Da izdamo Radovana brata Zašto bi mu sudili u Hagu? Branio se na kućnome pragu Nit zločinac, nit je mog'o biti Morao je svoj narod braniti Jer je bila od Islama želja Da unište Srbe do temelja
Na hiljade došlo iz Irana Ugasi se jedinstvo i bratsvo Da se srpsko opljačka bogatstvo Radovan se prevarit ne dade Svome narodu u odbranu stade Izvede nas iz Sarajeva grada I srpsko bi dijete da nastrada
Sve bi srpsko redom da popale Što li rijeka preko brda žuči Srpski narod mukama se muči Ko ne može pobjeći s nogama Umir'o je na teškim mukama Sve su redom četnicima zvali Krstove im po tijelu crtali
Za Srbe se ne govori javno Poklali su cijele porodice Na sve strane srpske su grobnice Ni u snu se nije moglo sniti Šta će samo u Kravici biti Srpsku nejač mučili i klali Svaki praznik krvlju zaljevali
Tu Radovan dolazi na sijelo SFOR ga hvata svako sedam dana Nije lako naći Radovana Upadaju po danu i mraku Ispituju i đeda i baku Govore im đedovi i babe "Ovdje ćete dolaziti džabe"
U kućama svakoga Srbina Svaki Srbin Radovan je sada Nećete ga pronaći nikada" Radovan je srce SDS-a Sakriše ga vile na nebesa Ti si Rašo sada svugdje s'nama Šaljemo ti pozdrav po zvjezdama
Mahni rukom Radovane SFOR-u Prije će se s'naše zemlje maći Nego tebe Radovane naći Radovane, kad ćeš preko Pala? I djeca te poželjela mala Pa polako Trebeviće prođi U srpsko nam Sarajevo dođi
Sve će bolje, kunemo se Rade I puteve, i crkve i zgrade Kad nam Srpsku Republiku dade Radovane, pomozi nam sada Ujedini Srbe k'o nekada Da se Srpstvo dogovara cijelo Da budemo kao jedno tijelo
Nemoj Rašu Americi dati Srbija je Slobodana dala Nije narod, nego grupa mala Krvave im ruke do lakata Što izdaše Slobodana brata Mi ne damo Radovana svoga Ko ga izda bojao se Boga
Neg' bez tebe brate Radovane Radije bi bez vode i hrane Neg' bez tebe brate Radovane Gdje si da si, Bog ti dao zdravlje Pozdravlja te cijelo pravoslavlje |
America, you're wasting your time
You will never find Radovan America, may your tracks perish You won't bring Radovan to Hague Karadzic, son of Montenegro Who would give you to America? They offer a lot of money For Radovan to be handed over
For which we would betray brother Radovan Why would he be on trial in Hague? He defended his home Not a criminal, nor could he be He had to defend his people Because it was a wish of Islam To destroy Serbs fully
Thousands arrived from Iran Unity and brotherhood died out So that Serbian wealth gets plundered Radovan wasn't tricked So he stood up to defend his people He took us out of Sarajevo Where Serbian children would be killed
They wish to burn everything Serbian As river flows over hills Serbian people are suffering Whoever coudldn't flee by foot Would die under worst tortures They called everyone a chetnik Carved crosses in their bodies
About Serbian sufferings no one talks publicly They butchered entire families All around are Serbian tombs No one could even dream What would happen in Kravica Serb children and elderly were tortured and butchered Every holiday they sprayed with blood
Is where Radovan comes to hang out SFOR comes chasing every seven days It's not easy to find Radovan They come barging in day and night Interrogating both grandpas and grandmas Grandpas and grandmas tell them "You'll keep coming in vain"
In the house of every Serb Every Serb is Radovan now You shall never find him" Radovan is the heart of SDS Mountain fairies hid him in the sky You Rašo are everywhere with us We send you greetings at the stars
Wave your hands at SFOR, Radovan They shall sooner leave our lands Than find you Radovan Radovan, when will you go over Pale Even little children miss you And slowly go over Trebević And arrive in Serbian Sarajevo
It will all be better, we swear to you Radovan All roads, churches and buildings Since you gave us Republika Srpska Radovan, help us now To unite Serbs as they were before For entire Serbdom to agree togehter To be as one body
Don't hand Rašo over to America Serbia handed over Slobodan Not the people, but a group of few Their arms bloody to their elbows That they betrayed brother Slobodan We don't give our Radovan Who betrays him should fear God
Than without you, brother Radovan We would rather be without food or water Than without you, brother Radovan Wherever you are, may God give you health Entire Orthodoxy greets you! |
