"Od Grahova do Zvornika" (Serbian Cyrillic: "Од Грахова до Зворника", lit. "From Grahovo to Zvornik") is a song written and performed by prominent Serb war singer Baja Mali Knindža. The song would receive some airtime on the radio.

Music and lyrics

The song uses a traditional melody in the same vein as "Od Borova pa do Knina". Both songs use locations that rhyme with each other. "Od Grahova do Zvorninka" ends each chorus with "sve je Srpska Republika" as opposed to "Od Borova pa do Knina", where folklore characters are used. Interestingly, Lalić uses locations in Kninska Krajina whereas Baja uses locations in Bosanska Krajina.

Lyrics

Lyrics:

Od Pala i Trebevića, do Vozuće i Čelića,
od Grahova do Zvornika, sve je Srpska Republika

Od Prijedora i Drvara, Nevesinja i Mostara,
od Srbinja do Zvornika, sve je Srpska Republika

Od Manjače i Doboja, Romanije i Rogoja,
od Kupresa do Zvornika, sve je Srpska Republika

Lyrics (English):

From Pale and Trebević, to Vozuća and Čelić
From Grahovo to Zvornik, it's all Republika Srpska

From Prijedor and Drvar, Nevesinje and Mostar
From Srbinja to Zvornik, it's all Republika Srpska

From Manjača and Doboj, Romanija and Rogoj
From Kupres to Zvornik, it's all Republika Srpska
