La Paloma
Ivo Robic · Other Songs - Ivo Robic
u dalek tudji svijet
taj put nitko meni
ne dade barem cvijet
Ja kad napustih tuzno
svoj rodni grad
u zrak bijeli golub
samo poleti tad
Kad na tvoj prozor bijeli
golub sleti
tada se nase ljubavi
zarke sjeti
Nek bijeli golub
pozdrav ti moj izruci
svu bol iz jada
preda ti cjelov vruci
Brod moj plovi kroz noc
po uzburkanom moru
bolne misli na putu me prate
u silnoj tuzi toj
Jednom k tebi ce doc
bijeli golub u zoru
ti ga primi i okiti cvijecem
jer to je pozdrav moj
