Mendula na cesti
Dalmatino · Other Songs - Dalmatino
ka divojka mlada sva u bilo obucena
u dubokoj noci pripast ce me rici
ja slutila sam jednom opet cu te sresti
I opet ce jubav na kolina pasti
kupina i trnje u srce ce bosti
i kazat ce zena lipa ka u prici
ja tri zivota cekan na ono oprosti
Ref.
Svirat ce nam zlatne strune misecine
a bura u poju vincanicu ce plesti
prid zoru ce sunce sapniti iz daljine
da je moja mlada mendula na cesti
Poletit ce zorom sedam galebova
sedam galebova za svih sedam grija
prema mojoj kuci ca jos nima krova
covika i zene i dicjega smija
Ref. 2x
