Oj Srbijo, Mila Mati
''Oj Srbijo, mila mati'' ( sr-cyr, Ој Србијо, мила мати), translated "O Serbia, Dear Mother", is a Serbian patriotic song. It dates to the 19th century. Its first, longer version, ''Srbiji'' ("to Serbia") by poet Luka Sarić was published in 1860 in the literary magazine of ''Slovenka'' in Novi Sad. In 1891, a Czech migrant to Serbia, Vojtěch Šístek, a member of the Singing Association ''Branko'' in Niš, composed the melody and the song quickly became very popular. A very long song, with seven stanza with eight lines each, it was shortened in 1909 by another member of the ''Branko'' association, Dragomir Brzak, to four stanza with four lines each. This version, with the name ''Oj Srbijo'' (O, Serbia) entered the school program prior to World War I. It was very popular during the Balkan Wars and World War I, having entered the repertoire of the Royal Guard. It was the opening song in a 24 June 1917 concert of the Serbian Royal Guard in Versaille. During World Wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
