Music and Lyrics

The song's contents has a man that commands a falcon to fly over Krajina and observe the damage done to his homeland. A variant of the instrumentals would appear in the 1996 Braća sa Dinare album, Plači voljena zemljo in the song, "Kućo moja rodna".

Lyrics

Lyrics:

Poleti sivi sokole
raširi svoja krila
leti do moje Krajine
tu mi je kuća bila.

Ptica leti pa prestane
čovek živi pa nestane
i sve ima kraja svoj
rekao je Bog.
 
Poleti sivi sokole
poleti snagom svom
leti do moje Dinare
videćeš porušen dom.

Ptica leti pa prestane
čovek živi pa nestane
i sve ima kraja svoj
rekao je Bog.
 
Poleti sivi sokole
tebi ne mogu ništa
leti do moje Krajine
do moga ognjišta.

Ptica leti pa prestane
čovek živi pa nestane
i sve ima kraja svoj
rekao je Bog.
