Lastavica

Meri Cetinic · Other Songs - Meri Cetinic

Ti se spremas na dalek put
moje misli su s tobom
nad gradom zadnji dok pravis krug
s ceznjom gledam te ja

U daljini gdje modri svod
tiho spaja se s vodom
pronadji luku i njegov brod
sto u suncu sja

Ref.
Leti, leti daleko, iznad dubokih voda
lastavice moja mala, sjajna zvijezdo moga svoda
leti, leti daleko, tvoja krila su meka
lastavice moja mala, zvijezdo sjajna i daleka

Sleti na njegov dlan, udji u njegov san
leti, leti daleko, leti nad grivom vala
lastavice moja mala, lastavice moja mala

Dok na nebu tvoj pratim let
tako sama na svijetu
u kljunu svome ti nosis cvijet
da ga njemu das

Ref.
