Music and Lyrics
The melody of "Joža tužni" is very similar to "Stan'te paše i ustaše", the song that comes before it.
"Joža" is the nickname for Tito and the song's title may have been intentional to bypass censors.
The song is about how Josip deceived to Serbs. He mentions Jasenovac which was a concentration camp that was covered up in order to keep peaceful relations between Serbs and Croats postwar. Another location mentioned is Goli Otok, which housed a prison camp for anti-communists as well as Partizans who were for the Soviet Union or were opposed to Tito.
