Music and lyrics

The song is about someone's grandfather being a fierce chetnik. Although some of Baja's songs have a autobiographical aspect to it like "Braćo moja preko okeana" and "Đedovi iz Čikaga", it is unknown if it is based off of a real relative of Baja's.

Music Video

"Đedo" appears as a hidden track in Rat i mir. The video has Baja and others singing the song with footage of Chetniks fighting in between verses.

Lyrics

Lyrics:

U mog đede, u mog đede, brada je do pasa,
kosa mu se, kosa mu se k’o more talasa

Moj stari đedo, sila je izgled’o,
i danas je ljuta zmija, kokarda mu sija

Na njemu je, na njemu je deset ljutih rana,
stari četnik, stari četnik željan je megdana

Moj stari đedo, sila je izgled’o,
i danas je ljuta zmija, kokarda mu sija

Dinara ga, Dinara ga sakrivala kažu,
on se kleo, on se kleo u Đujića i Dražu

Moj stari đedo, sila je izgled’o,
i danas je ljuta zmija, kokarda mu sija
