"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
