"Igraju se delije" (Serbian Cyrillic: "Играју се делије", lit. "The Heroes Play") is the title track of the album of the same name, performed by prominent war singer Baja Mali Knindža. It would initially appear on Igraju se delije and would be included in the 1998 SuperTon compilation, The Best Off. It would be referenced in the Dutch academic paper TURBO-FOLK EN NATIONALISME IN SERVIË where it was misinterpreted as a song condoning the actions of war criminals.[1]
Music and lyrics
The song is about a man who is down on his luck and would love to hear some patriotic songs to feel better. The song's opening is reminiscent of a tune one would play to signal the arrival of a major figure/royalty in medieval times. Despite the similarities in its namesake, the song does not make any references to "Igrale se delije."
