Lyrics:
Be a good soldier, son, your mother loves you,
be a soldier for two or three days, then return home
O Serbia, dear mother, you fell very low,
won't you really wait for women to defend you
When they ask, you explain, in front of the officers,
I'm sorry, I have to go home, my mom told me
O Serbia, dear mother, you fell very low,
won't you really wait for women to defend you
As the heroes on the battlefield, with the rifle, lie bravely,
deserters, through the corn, flee to their mother
O Serbia, dear mother, you fell very low,
won't you really wait for women to defend you
Serbian latin:
Budi dobar vojnik sine, ljubila te mati,
budi vojnik dva-tri dana, pa se kući vrati
Oj Srbijo, mila mati, na niske si pala grane,
nećeš valjda dočekati da te žene brane
Kad pitaju, ti objasni, pred starešinama,
izvinete moram kući, rekla mi je mama
Oj Srbijo, mila mati, na niske si pala grane,
nećeš valjda dočekati da te žene brane
Dok junaci na bojištu s puškom hrabro leže,
dezerteri kroz kukuruz svojoj mami beže
Oj Srbijo, mila mati, na niske si pala grane,
nećeš valjda dočekati da te žene brane
