Svetinja
Miroslav Skoro · Other Songs - Miroslav Skoro
i brat, brata vara
sto nam rade lose sluge
losih gospodara
svaka laz je trn u kruni
mojih predaka, a gdje je istina
Nema rijeci, nema dara, niti pjesama
da sakriju moju muku
moja sjecanja
zlato daje, dusu krade
slatko progovara, guja iz njedara
Ref.
Ko to moje, ime doziva
cudni ljudi, cudnog imena
pa mi kunu, sto je svetinja
vjera, ljubav i domovina
Na sve strane dizu glave
ptice rugalice
sve je manje sretnih dana
sloge i pravice
a najbolji medju nama
nocu vodu piju, bijelo lice kriju
Ref. 2x
