Kletva kralja Zvonimira
Thompson · Other Songs - Thompson
suho zlato bacili u blato
budjenje je bilo tako lijepo, mozda prekasno
i nevinom krvlju placeno
Ej, umorna zemljo izmucena
ima li jos tko umrijeti za te
Prodali su nase snove Judini sinovi
suho zlato bacili u blato
pred vratima tudjim opet za pravdu molimo
tezak sada kriz mi nosimo
Ej, umorna zemljo izmucena
ima li jos tko umrijeti za te
Ref.
Kralju Dmitre Zvonimire
kroz planine odjekuju krici
u tamnici tvoji su vojnici
Izdajice, ne imali mira
ubili ste kralja Zvonimira
izdali ste nase velikane
i sinove sto su majke dale
Jucer gledam sliku naroda
baca cvijece po herojima
a vec sutra pobjednike sude
prodase ih za Judine skude
