Ćiribiribela is the ninth and final studio album released by Yugoslav rock group Bijelo dugme.

Ćiribiribela is critically considered to have been Bijelo dugme's weakest album in their fifteen year carrier, Goran Bregović pushed for softer sound to its fullest on Ćiribiribela which is stylistically close to the band's previous studio album Pljuni i zapjevaj moja Jugoslavijo. Ćiribiribela is perhaps best remembered for containing one of Bijelo dugme's best known songs, the traditionalist, brass loaded "Đurđevdan je, a ja nisam s onom koju volim", which became an instant classic upon its release.

In contrast "Lijepa naša" is the band’s least popular song, Bregović (who is half Serbian half Croatian) combined the Croatian anthem “Lijepa naša domovino” with the Serbian World War I traditional “Tamo daleko” to form the chorus of the song, this proved very unpopular as ethnic tension among the people of Yugoslavia was on the rise at the time which would eventually boil over into full scale civil war in the 90’s.
