Tamo daleko Тамо далеко

Serbian folk song, it was composed on the island of Corfu (Korfu) in 1916 to commemorate the Serbian Army’s retreat through Albania during World War I. The song has different versions, but all end with the line “long live Serbia”. It is a symbol of Serbian culture and nationality identity. Later it became popular among Serbs in the Balkans and the diaspora. Tamo daleko, daleko od mora, Tamo je selo moje, tamo je Srbija. Tamo je selo moje, tamo je Srbija.
