Bokeljska noc
Vice Vukov · Other Songs - Vice Vukov
zapalit u nama vatre
cudit ce se moje vale
kako zanos nosi ljude
Srce jednom mora planut
za sav zivot za sve dane
mora nekad poslije tuge
vjetar nosit nase ladje
Ref.
Zasjat ce palaci, antike, tarace
cakulat ce sjore, zie graciane
svi oridjinali i sve karampane
hodit ce na festu za nas Kotorane
Opet dodju noci duge
divne, plave moje vale
znat ce opet
tjesit svoje ljude
