Dalmacijo, srce oca moga (feat. Klapa Bunari)

majica na rige, barka usrid luke
ribe u kaseti i sa strane mrize
a caca me jubi i u zrak me dize
Vidite je ljudi, vidite je svite
to je Dalmatinka, to je nase dite
iz tih jakih ruku, gori iz visine
gledala sam more, borove i stine
Ref. 2x
Ja se kunem, u dusi mi pise
kcer sam tvoja i nicija vise
kad te vidin, znan da ima Boga
Dalmacijo, srce oca moga
I kada sam bila daleko od mora
bez krika galeba i mirisa bora
kad je oko mokro, kad je srce suvo
u mislima caca sapce mi na uho
Lipo zlato moje, sve dok sunce sije
ti si Dalmatinka, dite Dalmacije
Ref. 2x
