Bili brode moj
Thompson · Other Songs - Thompson
oceane ja preplovio
sve sam brige
i probleme prepolovio
Samo da bi tebi duso
prsten donio
priko praga svu u bilom
tebe prenio
Pisala si da me volis
da si moja ti
i da ces me za zivota
uvijek voljeti
A drugom si ruku dala
mene izdala
i u srce svu od bola
strijelu zabila
Ref.
Dabogd' puka na dva dila
bili brode moj
zbog tebe me ostavila
moja draga, joj
Dabogda se zapalia
bili brode moj
i sa tobom potonia
cili zivot moj
Neka ti je, nek' ti bude
oprastam ti sve
kad zivota vise nema
nema za mene
Svoje bitke predao sam
hladnim morima
pa neka mi ona budu
vjecna postelja
Ref. 2x
