Vjecni sokol
Zdenko Niksic · Other Songs - Zdenko Niksic
Zamislio stari sokol
da ce umrijeti
pa pozeli Liku svoju
jos jednom preletjeti
Ref. 2x
Ne, ne, moj sokole
neces umrijeti
ti i Vila Velebita
vjecno cete zivjeti
Da te przi sunce s neba
grom siloviti
tvoja krila od celika
nece moci slomiti
Ref. 2x
Ti ces vjecno, moj sokole
nebom letjeti,
a Lika ce mirno spavat'
dok je budes cuv'o ti
Ref. 2x
da ce umrijeti
pa pozeli Liku svoju
jos jednom preletjeti

Ne, ne, moj sokole
neces umrijeti
ti i Vila Velebita
vjecno cete zivjeti
Da te przi sunce s neba

tvoja krila od celika
nece moci slomiti
Ref. 2x
Ti ces vjecno, moj sokole
nebom letjeti,
a Lika ce mirno spavat'
dok je budes cuv'o ti
