"Krv nije voda" (Serbian Cyrillic: "Крв није вода", lit. "Blood is Not Water") is a song written and performed by prominent Serb war singer Baja Mali Knindža. The song would be referenced in "Ćuti, ćuti ujko", but would be referred to as "Stiže vojvoda". According to a 2021 interview, around the start of the war Baja would break up his usual routine of love songs and perform "Krv nije voda" to great reception.[1] The earliest surviving live appearance of "Krv nije voda" in a set list would be in 1993 where an adapted version of "Vrati se vojvodo" uses the chorus.[2]
Music and lyrics
While it sounds similar to other song on the album, "Krv nije voda" has a celebratory, triumphant tune. The song is about Chetniks returning to fight once more. By looking at a picture of Đujić with Chetniks, the singer is filled with determination to never give Krajina. By joining the fight one is, by extension joining Momčilo's army and one with the Chetniks. The chorus warns blood is not water and that the vojvoda will be coming soon.
