In Europe's shadow, a tale untold
Of Yugoslavia's birth, a story cold
The First World War, a pivotal stage
Where nations clashed, and empires engaged
A battle raged, on Cer's steep slope
The first major victory, a turning hope
But films of war, a rarity rare
The Communist era, a silence to share
Žika Mitrović's lens, a unique view
A comedy of war, with moments anew
A four-letter word, a memorable line
Ljuba Tadić's performance, a Golden Arena's shine
In Belgrade's streets, the ultimatum's call
Captain Kosta's courage, his family's fall
Lieutenant Veselin's noble heart
A tale of friendship, and a love that would depart
The River Drina, a crossing point of fate
Austro-Hungarians, on the Serbian state
Major Kursula's prediction, a battle to be won
The Serbian army, on the defensive, till the dawn is done
Arsen Diklić's screenplay, a meticulous guide
A realistic portrayal, of soldiers inside
Their flaws and fears, their hopes and dreams
A human story, amidst the war's extremes
The Battle of Cer, a lesson to learn
A reminder of Serbia's military yearn
A film that shines, a light in the dark
March on the Drina, a tale to embark
In the annals of time, a story now told
Of Yugoslavia's birth, and a war to unfold
A testament to courage, and human heart
March on the Drina, a film that will never depart.
