Za sva vremena, Dubrovnik
Tereza Kesovija · Other Songs - Tereza Kesovija
do obala moga sna
ljubavlju cu te braniti
biseru Jadrana
Stoljeca pamte tvoj lik
i kameni bijeli sklad
vazda ce pjesme slaviti
gosparski drevni Grad
Ref. 2x
Odavde do vjecnosti
ponosan stoji Grad
za sva vremena, Dubrovnik
suncem okupan Dubrovnik
Odavde do vjecnosti
zaljubljen, vazda mlad
a sveti Vlaho nad njim bdi
Dubrovnik moj je grad
Pjesma nek' postane brod
do obala moga sna
ljubavlju cu te braniti
biseru Jadrana
Pjesma nek' postane grom
da svuda se cuje glas
nigdje u svijetu dalekom
ljepsega nema za nas
Ref. 2x

Released during the height of her international fame, the track blends traditional folk instrumentation with modern pop sensibilities to create a timeless sound that resonated across the former Yugoslavia.
