Music and lyrics
This song would be the first to mention Baja's cousin Lazo, his brother Novak, and his friend Jovo Kalaba. It is also the first of many songs that mention the towns Gubin, Sajković, and Provo.
Like some war songs written in this era, there's a mention of the use of Cyrillic and a crossing with three fingers as a notable cultural.
Music Video
Music video 1 (Jugodisk)
This music video has Baja wearing the same attire seen in the "Božic je" and "Kad sam bio mali" videos. Baja sings while wandering the ruins of an unknown location. The source of this version is unknown, but is either from a Jugodisk VHS compilation or was originally made for Najveći hitovi, but was scrapped for the second version.
Music video 2 (SuperTon)
This version would appear as the final song in the 1993 compilation Najveći hitovi. It would have higher production value complete with Baja and another person in camouflage fatigues in a makeshift set. It would also include digital editing such as chroma key and screen transitions. This version would be the first to surface on the internet.
