Moja Hercegovina
Mate Bulic · Other Songs - Mate Bulic
dusa mi je prazna bez tebe
otis'o sam, morao sam
dio tebe ponio sam
tvoje ime, moje prezime
Ref. 2x
Kamen, krs i maslina
vino, ganga, Neretva
sve to ima zemlja ta
moja Hercegovina
Svake noci tebe sanjam ja
ranila me pusta tudjina
vracam ti se zemljo sveta
iz daleka tudjeg svijeta
ne odlazim vise nikada
Ref. 2x
