Ta divna splitska noc
Matko Jelavic · Other Songs - Matko Jelavic
jos jednom kroz nas Marjan
o tome svake noci snivam
da li ce doci taj dan
Ref.
Ta divna splitska noc
u luci male barke
ti sjeti se mene
i nase ljubavi zarke
Dok nam kroz grane misec sija
i zvizda blistavi sjaj
nek ljubav srca nam opija
ah, dodji, cekam te ja
Ref.
Ta divna splitska noc
