Borislav "Bora" Drljača (born August 29, 1941) is a Serbian folk singer popular in former Yugoslavia.[1] His biggest hits are Stari vuk ("Old wolf"), Ne namiguj na me tuđa ženo ("Don't wink at me someone else's woman"), and Plači, mala, plači ("Cry, baby, cry"), written by Baja Mali Knindža.

Drljača was born in Donja Suvaja, Yugoslavia, during World War II (at the time part of the Axis Independent State of Croatia), into a Serb family of father Branko and mother Stoja. His mother died during the war, when Bora was still a toddler. He has no memories of her and no pictures. His father later remarried after the war. According to Bora, the worst days in his life were when the Yugoslav Wars started; Bosnian television didn't want to play his songs because he was an ethnic Serb and Serbian television didn't want to play his songs because he was from Bosnia.

Bora is a widower and lives in Belgrade, Serbia. He has two married sons.
