Sanjam mrke doratove

rijeku Unu zubori kroz Novi
sanjam cestu i drvene ceze
gdje me voze mrki doratovi
Sanjam stare kuke i vagire
sto sam sve zbog Mire ostavio
sanjam Avgust na Manjaci ljeto
da na zboru Kocica sam bio
Sanjam idem kuci iz kafane
opet pijan kao nekad prije
na domaku moga rodnog sela
laje sarov prepozn'o me nije
Ref.
Nista nije kao prije
ne cuje se pjesma ova
ostalo mi jos da sanjam
vrisak mrki doratova
Sanjam mrke doratove
