Music and lyrics

It is first of many songs in Baja's discography to mention leader of the Chetnik Dinara Division Momčilo Đujić. Like most songs written about Đujić the song wishes for the vojvoda to return, although would criticize him for not returning when the war broke out. This is one of two songs to be written in this way with the other being "Ima Boga, ima pravde" from the 1995 album, Idemo dalje.

Lyrics

Lyrics:

Braćo moja preko okeana,
doći cu vam i ja ovih dana.
Oj Stevane, Momčilo i Riste,
Zašto kući dolazili niste?

Đe ste sada sokolovi sivi
Da vidite kako brale živi.
Crno nebo, oluja se sprema,
U Krajini više mira nema.

Pozdravite svu rodbinu dragu,
Starog đeda tamo u Čikagu.
Ako bog da i neđelja sveta
Momčilo će Krajinom da šeta.

Ako dođe do krvavog boja
Daću život, oj Krajino moja.
Daću život, neću da se kajem,
Znam za koga i zašto ga dajem

Lyrics (English):

[TBA]
