WHO'S SINGIN' OVER THERE? ( Ko to tamo peva)

The sun is rising
On a Saturday
The day is breaking
From the distance
Poor folk from all around
Await for the sun's ray
Off to Belgrade,
off to Belgrade
By a Krstich bus,
by a Krstich bus
The people are ready to leave
Eager to set on a journey
But luck they have not
I'm unfortunate
I was born that way
I sing to sing
my pain away
Dear mother, how I wish
That all this was
only a dream.
If these little roses
Could hear the pain of my heart
They would shed a tear or two
To soothe my sorrow.
They would shed a tear or two
To soothe my sorrow.

The song "Ko to tamo peva" (Who’s Singin' Over There?) holds significant cultural and historical value, especially in the context of Yugoslavia during the early 1940s. It is both a folk song and a key musical element in the acclaimed Yugoslav film of the same name, which depicts a journey made by a diverse group of passengers on the eve of Yugoslavia's invasion during World War II.
