Sto zivota dao bi
Mate Bulic · Other Songs - Mate Bulic
Livanjsko bi polje pregazio
zbog tebe, zbog tebe
Presao bi preko Velebita
preko puta strnovita
zbog tebe, zbog tebe
Ja sam becar, a ti vila najljepsa
ja sam sokol, a ti
ptica bijela, golubica
Ref.
Sto zivota dao bi
samo da me ljubis ti
bez tebe dusa ne moze
Sto zivota dao bi
samo da me ljubis ti
umro bi ko prosjak ljubavi
Samo za taj pogled tvoga oka
isao bih za njim do Iloka
Dunava duboka
Za tobom bi sve do Palagruze
prosipao morem zute ruze
za tebe, za tebe
Ja sam becar, a ti vila najljepsa
ja sam sokol, a ti
ptica bijela, golubica
Ref.
