Dobra vam bila vecer, prijatelji moji
ko ce izmisati karte, ako nas nima
sidimo nocas kraj stola
a vidim da nima nas pola
al' pisme nase su za uvik tu

Ref.
Evo mene moji ljudi
dosa san vam na bevandu
jos je ziva nasa loza
jos se penje uz verandu

Evo mene lipi moji
bili galeb neka leti
oduvik je bila pisma
Dalmaciji zakon sveti

Cuvaj sine moj maslinu i skoje
kada zaspem ja, pamti rici moje

Ref.
