Dalmatinska elegija
Vice Vukov · Other Songs - Vice Vukov
kontrade skalinade di setat san se zna
i ti fumari stari iz kojih dima ni
i nase none bone ca volimo jih svi
To nestaje sve dalje sve to ca srce zna
drugare trazim stare, al' furest sad sam ja
ni duje, dane, frane da dojdedu na mul
kod tete marijete da popijedu zmul
To nestaje sve daje sve to ca srce zna
drugare trazim stare, al' furest sad sam ja
sve nestaje sve dalje u dragom gradu tom
sve nestaje, al' traje taj bol u srcu mom
Te skure balature ca stididu se sad
ferali ca su sjali kad mrak bi pa na grad
portuni i kantuni di ceka san je ja
sentade serenade noc puna pisme sva
