Dalmatinac i dalmatinka (duet Mladen Grdovic)

Lidija Bacic · Other Songs - Lidija Bacic

Nisam svetac lipa moja
grisima mi nima broja
volin pismu i bevandu
mogu razbit i karocu
al' jos uvik volin bocu
jer sam onaj uvik stari

Vise volim rev tovara
od dragulja i dolara
ja sam cura sesna fina
da do kraja budem jasna
ja sam riba prvoklasna
sjajnija od svih rubina

Ref.
Dalmatinac i dalmatinka
ka' noga i rebatinka
lipo pasu, lipo stoje
al' ti necu, necu dati
jer ti ne znas dugo stati
s jednom curom zlato moje

Obasa san svit sto puta
vracala me zelja ljuta
za bokunom Dalmacije
di se majstor s mora slavi
di se crven, bili, plavi
ponosno na vitru vije

Ref. 2x
