Piva klapa ispo' volta
Oliver Dragojevic · Other Songs - Oliver Dragojevic
u to gluvo litnje doba
i prolazi ispod skala
di se susi tvoja roba
do pergula rici lete
pun se misec smije gradu
ti se dizes iz kocete
da poslusas serenadu
Ref.
S ponistre se vidi Solta
piva klapa ispo' volta
u daljini svitle koce
piva klapa soto voce
ti se ozires po sobi
slika je na kantunalu
oneg ca ga more odni
u daleken fortunalu
Opustila davno riva
zatvoreni su portuni
ispo' volta klapa piva
tvoji mirisu lancuni
tihu razmices koltrinu
zrila si ka litnje vece
o jubavi i o vinu
piva klapa soto voce
Ref.
Niko nece te kastigat
kad bi skinila korotu
zalost ce te svu destrigat
a jos mores dat lipotu
s ponistre se vidi Solta
zmiga svitlo ispo' volta
u po' dota kada pasa
piva klapa ispo' glasa
Piva klapa ispo' volta
