Dragacevo diko moja

Ziza Ivanovic · Other Songs - Ziza Ivanovic

Draga, Dragacevo
ruzom ogradjeno
pola, pola
ruzom pola bosiokom

Ref. 2x
Dragacevo diko moja
tebe krase brda tvoja
i ravnice uz Bjelicu
nosim te u srcu

S' jedne sjedne strane
planinom Jelicom
s' druge, druge strane
rekom moravicom

Ref.

To sto, to sto nosi
slavu Dragaceva
sabor, sabor trube
i kad se zapeva

Ref.

Dvesta truba kad zasvira
sa ovcara i kablara
nek se pesma jos zapeva
pesma Dragaceva
