about

Song from World War I when young soldiers were recruited from
the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Other than Austria and Hungary, the empire's territory is today
divided between Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Serbia, Romania, Ukraine, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland

lyrics

Tam daleko šumica je mala, tam daleko, oj!
Tam daleko šumica je mala.
U šumici zeleni se trava, u šumici oj!
A u travi ljubičica plava.
Ljubičice i ja bi te brala, ljubičice oj!
Ali nemam kome bi te dala.
Imala sam brata i dragana, imala sam oj!

Imala sam brata i dragana.
Brata su mi Rusi zarobili, zarobili oj!
Brata su mi Rusi zarobili.
A dragoga možda i ubili, i ubili oj!
A dragoga možda i ubili.

Far away from here there is a small forest. The grass is green in the forest, and you can see blue
violets growing there. I would like to pick the violets, but I have no-one to give them to. I did have a
brother and a sweetheart. My brother was captured by the Russians, and my sweetheart may have
even been killed by them.
