Kalelarga
Tomislav Ivcic · Other Songs - Tomislav Ivcic
kroz tihu varos proci bi zna
na rivu ili uz Donat stari
dok tiho, tiho sniva Zadar grad
Ali vrime neumorno ide
i ja sad moran na drugu stranu poc
da mi je sada sa mojom klapom
zapivat tiho za laku noc
Ref. 2x
Kalelarga, Kalelarga
Kalelarga moja radosti
tu san proveo najljepse dane
moje mladosti
Sa dragom kod cetiri kantuna
kroz tihu varos proci bi zna
na rivu ili uz Donat stari
dok tiho, tiho sniva Zadar grad
Lipi moj grade uvik te se sitin
i pismu ovu poklanjam ti ja
neka je mladost zapiva s tobon
kada vec ne mogu ja
Ref. 2x
