"Knindže Krajišnici" (Serbian Cyrillic: "Книнџе Крајишници", lit. "Krajina Kninjas") is a song written and performed by prominent Serb war singer Baja Mali Knindža. The song would have allegations of plagiarism due to the lyrical similarities to the 1992 Nazif Gliva song "Branioci Sarajevo" with the tune of the chorus being nearly identical to "Branioci Sarajevo". Whether or not it was genuinely stolen is hotly debated, though it is most likely that "Knindže Krajišnici" was meant to be a response or an otherwise Serbian version of "Branioci Sarajevo".

Lyrics

Lyrics:

Ide Mile, ide Mile preko koridora
I on kaže, i on kaže da se proći mora.
Ide Mile, ide Mile preko koridora
I on kaže, i on kaže da se proći mora.
 
Šta se ono tamo čuje, ko to peva u ravnici?
To su majko hrabri borci, to su knindže krajišnici.
Šta se ono tamo čuje, ko to peva u ravnici?
To su majko hrabri borci, to su knindže krajišnici.
 
Ide Mile, ide Mile, krajišnike vodi,
Vodi braću, vodi braću Srbe ka slobodi.
Ide Mile, ide Mile, krajišnike vodi,
Vodi braću, vodi braću Srbe ka slobodi.
 
Šta se ono tamo čuje, ko to peva u ravnici?
To su majko hrabri borci, to su knindže krajišnici.
Šta se ono tamo čuje, ko to peva u ravnici?
To su majko hrabri borci, to su knindže krajišnici.
 
Ide Mile, ide Mile kroz bosanske trave,
A dušmani, a dušmani beže preko Save.
Ide Mile, ide Mile kroz bosanske trave,
A dušmani, a dušmani beže preko Save.
 
Šta se ono tamo čuje, ko to peva u ravnici?
To su majko hrabri borci, to su knindže krajišnici.
Šta se ono tamo čuje, ko to peva u ravnici?
To su majko hrabri borci, to su knindže krajišnici.

Mile is going, Mile is going across the corridor,
And he says, and he says, it must be passed.
Mile is going, Mile is going across the corridor,
And he says, and he says, it must be passed.

What is that sound over there, who is singing in the plain?
Those are, mother, brave fighters, those are Krajina Kninjas.
What is that sound over there, who is singing in the plain?
Those are, mother, brave fighters, those are Krajina Kninjas.

Mile is going, Mile is going, leading the Krajina men,
Leading the brothers, leading the Serbs to freedom.
Mile is going, Mile is going, leading the Krajina men,
Leading the brothers, leading the Serbs to freedom.

What is that sound over there, who is singing in the plain?
Those are, mother, brave fighters, those are Krajina Kninjas.
What is that sound over there, who is singing in the plain?
Those are, mother, brave fighters, those are Krajina Kninjas.

Mile is going, Mile is going through the Bosnian fields,
And the enemies, and the enemies are running across the Sava.
Mile is going, Mile is going through the Bosnian fields,
And the enemies, and the enemies are running across the Sava.

What is that sound over there, who is singing in the plain?
Those are, mother, brave fighters, those are Krajina Kninjas.
What is that sound over there, who is singing in the plain?
Those are, mother, brave fighters, those are Krajina Kninjas.
