Zmajevo (Serbian Cyrillic: Змајево) is a village in Serbia. It is situated in the Vrbas municipality, in the South Bačka District, Vojvodina province. The village has a Serb ethnic majority and its population numbering 4,361 people (2002 census). It has beautiful lakes that are full of carp (Zmajevacka jezera), a very big hunting ground with a lot of wild animals. Anglers from all over Serbia come to Zmajevo to fish the most beautiful carp in Vojvodina.
In Serbian, the village is known as Zmajevo (Змајево), in German as Alt-Keer or Altker, and in Hungarian as Ókér. Older Serbian names of the village were: Pašićevo (Пашићево), Stari Ker (Стари Кер), Ker (Кер), and Bačka Dobra (Бачка Добра). The current name, Zmajevo, derived from nickname of Serbian poet Jovan Jovanović Zmaj.
It was recorded first in 1267. During Ottoman rule (16th-17th century), the village of Ker was populated by Serbs. Germans settled in the village in 1787, but after World War II, as a consequence of the war events, the German population (approximately 2,500 people) fled from the village.
What ever happened
to the promises you made
Those little notions
of your breakthrough day
My one mistake was
in making some room
Leaving doors unlocked
that you pushed through
And taking too much time
Some you lose and some you give away
Some you lose and some you give away
I lost some friends out
on that empty road
Get back together
it's always them you know
For what don't get you leave a
mark on your back
Like the piece that doesn't
fit in the jar that cracked
Forgetting what you've been told
Some you lose and some you give away
Some you lose, some you give away
You give away, yeah, yeah, yeah
I left some candles
by the side of your house
Case you got lost or needed showing out
