Splite moj

Pamti san tvoje kale i kontrade
dosa do vrja zlatne skalinade
arju san pija kripi na funtani
ka denu vezu, najlipji nas dani

Ref.
Splite moj, moja lipa radosti
Splite moj, moja sritna mladosti
dok san sunce ti kra
ti si dusu mi da
Splite moj, Splite moj

Inkantam pismom ljubim mandolinu
murtilo rane licim u djardinu
i zadnja ric u grlu kad mi stane
najlipja suza za te neka kane

Ref.

Splite moj, Splite moj
