Not to be confused with the Gedža song, "Srbine brate"
"Srbine podigni glavu" (Serbian Cyrillic: "Србине подигни главу", lit. "Serb, Raise Your Head") also known as "Srbine brate", is a song performed by prominent Serb war singer Baja Mali Knindža. Despite its appearance on a Braća sa Dinare album, Novak and Lujan do not appear on the track.
The song is sequentially the last patriotic song on the album as "Vozi miško" and "Koga ćeš lagati" are love songs. It is also the longest song in the album.
Music and lyrics
The song, as with most of Baja's war songs intends to boost morale. It is one of few war songs that has a slightly altered chorus on its second reprisal as "za Sinđeliće" will be said instead of "za Obiliće"/"za Nemanjiće".
Lyrics
Lyrics:
Junaštvo imaš, treba ti sloga
Svaki je Srbin Srbinu brat
Bilo je do sad ratova dosta
A sad se vodi sudbinski rat
Srbine brate, podigni glavu
Ne boj se nikog, ti si u pravu
Podigni čašu dok zora sviće
Za Obiliće, za Nemanjiće
Srbine brate, podigni glavu
Ne boj se nikog, ti si u pravu
Podigni čašu dok zora sviće
Za Obiliće, za Sinđeliće
Za Srbe kažu, nebeski narod
Istina to je koja nas boli
No možda Gospod stradanja daje
Onome koga najviše voli
Srbine brate, podigni glavu
Ne boj se nikog, ti si u pravu
Podigni čašu dok zora sviće
Za Obiliće, za Nemanjiće
Srbine brate, podigni glavu
Ne boj se nikog, ti si u pravu
Podigni čašu dok zora sviće
Za Nemanjiće, za Sinđeliće
Srbine brate, junački sine
Sada je zadnji zadatak tvoj
Da se završi u korist Srpstva
Davno početi Kosovski boj
Srbine brate, podigni glavu
Ne boj se nikog, ti si u pravu
Podigni čašu dok zora sviće
Za Obiliće, za Nemanjiće
Srbine brate, podigni glavu
Ne boj se nikog, ti si u pravu
Podigni čašu dok zora sviće
Za Obiliće, za Sinđeliće

Lyrics (English):
[TBA]
You have bravery, you need unity
Every Serb is a brother to another Serb
There have been enough wars until now
But now a fateful war is being fought
Serb brother, lift your head
Do not fear anyone, you are in the right
Raise your glass as dawn breaks
For Obilić, for Nemanjić
Serb brother, lift your head
Do not fear anyone, you are in the right
Raise your glass as dawn breaks
For Obilić, for Sinđelić
They say Serbs are a heavenly nation
This is the truth that pains us
But perhaps the Lord gives suffering
To those He loves the most
Serb brother, lift your head
Do not fear anyone, you are in the right
Raise your glass as dawn breaks
For Obilić, for Nemanjić
Serb brother, lift your head
Do not fear anyone, you are in the right
Raise your glass as dawn breaks
For Nemanjić, for Sinđelić
Serb brother, heroic son
Now your final task is at hand
To conclude in favor of Serbdom
The long-begun Kosovo battle
Serb brother, lift your head
Do not fear anyone, you are in the right
Raise your glass as dawn breaks
For Obilić, for Nemanjić
Serb brother, lift your head
Do not fear anyone, you are in the right
Raise your glass as dawn breaks
For Obilić, for Sinđelić
