Moja Dalmacija

galeb krici, jutro ga pozdravi
a navece uz mirise bora
netko tiho svira na gitari
Ca je sladje od grozdja i vina
i na jesen vinograda
i di toga jos na svitu ima
da uz sunce topla kisa pada
Ref.
Moja Dalmacija, najdraza
moja Dalmacija, najlipsa
moja Dalmacija, jedina
k'o najlipsi biser u morima
Moja Dalmacija, najdraza
Ca je draze od kamenih kuca
i od spura ca gledaju morem
i kad liti sve zeze i spava
ca je lipse od rodnoga kraja
Ref. 2x
