Baja's first documented live performance would be in 1992 at Poselo 202, though faced censorship as footage of the performance was removed from the official TV broadcast of the event and was rarely played on select channels and radio stations. Despite this, the song would become a permanent part of setlists.

Music and lyrics

The song has a triumphant tone with the song itself encouraging Serbia to sing no matter what.

Lyrics

Lyrics:

Srbijo moja, ponosna budi,
napajaj pesmom junačke grudi,
dedovi naši padoše davno,
ime ti Srbijo ostade slavno.

Pevaj Srbijo, zemljo junaka,
pevaj Srbijo, zemljo bitaka,
pevaj Srbijo, silnije, jače,
pevaj Srbijo, kad ti se plače.

Sad spomen osta, na kojem piše:
"Krvave bitke Srbi vodiše,
nek' vetar tiho po polju piri,
nek' naše Srbstvo daleko širi."

Pevaj Srbijo, zemljo junaka,
pevaj Srbijo, zemljo bitaka,
pevaj Srbijo, silnije, jače,
pevaj Srbijo, kad ti se plaće.

Srbijo moja, dosta je plača,
tvoja je pesma od suza jača,
neka se čuje pesma do neba
i kad se gine, pevati treba.

Pevaj Srbijo, zemljo junaka
Pevaj Srbijo, zemljo bitaka,
Pevaj Srbijo, silnije, jače
Pevaj Srbijo, kad ti se plače.
