Lyrics

Lyrics: Hej Srbine brate mili Što četnikom tebe zovu To što rodnu grudu brani Što budučnost želiš novu Srbin ne da zemlju svoju Znaju svi to još od prije Nek' je jasno celom svetu Srbin nikad klek'o nije Za bolje se boriš sutra Da ti deca srećno žive Što ne želiš sluga biti Dušmani te zato krive Srbin ne da zemlju svoju Znaju svi to još od prije Nek' je jasno celom svetu Srbin nikad klek'o nije Neće moći uzet naše Krajina će srpska biti Hej dušmane ovom zemljom Nikad nećeš zagaziti Srbin ne da zemlju svoju Znaju svi to još od prije Nek' je jasno celom svetu Srbin nikad klek'o nije

Lyrics (English): Hey Serb, my dear brother Why do they call you a Chetnik Because you defend your homeland Because you want a new future A Serb doesn't give his land Everyone knows this from before May it be clear to the whole world A Serb never has kneeled Fight for a better tomorrow So that your kids live happily Because you don't want to be a servant For that reason, enemies blame you A Serb doesn't give his land Everyone knows this from before May it be clear to the whole world A Serb never has kneeled They won't be able to take ours Krajina will be Serbian Hey, enemies, this land You will never step on A Serb doesn't give his land Everyone knows this from before May it be clear to the whole world A Serb never has kneeled
