Cakule o siromajima

to slika je moga skoja
bez koluri, bez okvira
svuda samo sivo
i svuda samo modro
A kucica jedna
pala je uz more
tu zivimo nas dvoje
sa sedmero dice
i tri koze
Vec se cilin skojem prica
da nimamo bome nista
svi nas zovu siromaji
ca imaju, od sta zive
Dvi-tri loze, malo vina
cvit masline, zero uja
dvi tri koze, bokun sira
to nama je drago blago
ca imamo
Ref.
O more, ca njezno milujes zal
ti beskrajno si dobro nase
i radost nam svaki tvoj nosi val
kad u zoru se vrate brodice
Kazu da smo siromaji
al' cakule to su samo
nase ruke vole radit
i zivimo zato sritno
To slika je moga skoja
uvik srcu puno draga
rojena sam ode
a ode cu i umrit
I ne more nista
lipse bit na svitu
od ovog malog skoja
ca bidan se nasa
nasrid mora
Ref.
