"Vratiće se delija" (Serbian Cyrillic: "Вратиће се делије", lit. "The Heroes Will Return") is a song written and performed by prominent Serb war singer Baja Mali Knindža from the album, Ne dam Krajine. It is one of the first songs written by Baja to mention Gavrilo Princip.
There are only three known recorded live performances of "Vratiće se delija": the first at a concert in 1993[1], another at Veliki Trg[2] and the other in Simona[3] on June 3rd and July 11th respectively. Both of these performances took place in 2021.
Music and lyrics
Like most songs on the album, "Vratiće se delija" is simple in its lyrics. The first verse is the only verse to have every other verse rhyme whereas the rest of the song has two concurrent stanzas rhyming with each other.
Unlike "Za krst časni" where historical figures are referenced with a location, "Vratiće se delija" only mentions it once with Bosansko Grahovo and Gavrilo Princip.
