Nad Kraljevom živa vatra seva [English translation]
A great fire is blazing above Kraljevo,
Let us go see which Chetnik is no longer with us.
Simo* is no longer with us, and Deroko** is no longer with us.
Those were two of Draža's best men.
Our Simo the Germans killed,
He was mowed down by machine gun bullets.
While Deroko, the young captain,
Was cowardly murdered by a company of Partisans.
Just then, in the morning, around seven o'clock,
Our Simo's mother suddenly cried out,
"That's the way, Simo, that's the way, dear son,
That's the way a Serb dies for Freedom!"
- Artist:Nikola Urošević Gedža
