Dodji kod Skadarlije
Rade Vuckovic · Other Songs - Rade Vuckovic
sve to bese jedna turska avlija
zidine od starog grada
prkosile svima tada
pa i pasi Carigrada
Ref. 2x
Kad se s' curom upoznas
ruku ljubis, cvet joj das
pa joj sapnes reci te
dodji kod Skadarlije
Ako hoces vinom da ugasis bol
ti fijaker uzmi, idi na Dorcol
teraj konje kocijasu
sviraj tiho tamburasu
hej, krcmaru, daj mi casu
Ref. 2x
Zora svice, a ja kuci ne idem
hocu da se nocas lepo provedem
isao bi, ponos ne da
jer je nekad i moj deda
sedeo sa drustvom celu noc
Ref. 2x
