Nizamski rastanak
Nizamski rastanak (Serbian Cyrillic: Низамски растанак) is a famous Serbian song.
According to Felix Kanitz, because the melody was played by the Ottoman military orchestras when the Ottomans left Serbia in May 1867, this melody became one of the most favorite Serb melodies.[1][2] This melody was regularly played by Serbian military orchestras during World War I and was part of an emotional reception of the victory of Serbian army on the Macedonian Front.[3] After the war, this song became part of the repertoire of Serb romanticists and nationalists and was regularly sung during their gatherings.[4]
In 1995, Benjamin Isović used the melody of "Nizamski rastanak" to write the Bosniak song "Šehidski rastanak", believing that he was only bringing back this melody to its Bosnian birth place.[5] Miljenko Jergović considers the Bosnian origin of the melody as completely uncertain.[6]

Skupite se svi, dobri drugovi neka truba dok ne padne mrak, svira rastanak. Pa za one prošle dane, nek' ti neka suza kane Još u srcu mom kao teški zvon Neka svaka cura čuje šta joj vojnik poručuje |
Скупите се сви, добри другови нека труба док не падне мрак, свира растанак. Па за оне прошле дане, нек' ти нека суза кане Још у срцу мом као тешки звон Нека свака цура чује шта јој војник поручује |
Get together now, my good friends may the trumpet play until night sets, signalling our departure. Well for those old days, you can let out a tear Still in my heart, like a hardened bell May every girl hear what a soldier recommends to her |
