Maj&#8221; (May 6th), and the lyrics of this song speak of one of the greatest Serbian holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his new hit, Mihajlo says, among other things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>It was at dawn when my eyes opened<br>Turkish coffee on the stove, it&#8217;s time for a cup<br>I rarely smoke but now I had to<br>Pour some rakia, drink it<br>A gulp<br>We celebrate that we live<br>Because we weren&#8217;t supposed to succeed<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lyrics that Mihajlo personally wrote continue like this\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Yes, Mom, you can show off with Louis<br>but I&#8217;ll play a song by Bijelo Dugme<br>For all those little bosses, we&#8217;ll rock like it&#8217;s St. George&#8217;s Day (Djurdjevdan)!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-serbiantimes-info wp-block-embed-serbiantimes-info\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"yqYi4YNq7w\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/rep-durdevdanom-zapalio-ameriku-reper-srpskog-porekla-snimio-hit-u-kome-peva-o-srpskim-obicajima-i-pije-rakiju-video\/\">REP &#8222;\u0110UR\u0110EVDANOM&#8220; ZAPALIO AMERIKU: Reper srpskog porekla snimio hit u kome peva o srpskim obi\u010dajima i pije rakiju!
