Drvarcanka

Vlatka Karanovic · Other Songs - Vlatka Karanovic

Sve me vise zelja vuce
da odem do rodne kuce
da obidjem mjesto svoje
volim Drvar, to je moje

Ref.
Drvarcanka ja sam
ponosna sam na to
Klekovaca srebro
Unac moje zlato

Tudjinu ostavljam
Drvar ne zaboravljam
sve u vodu pada
bez Drvara grada

Sa Ostrelja brat me zove
dodji sejo u svatove
svom Drvaru i Ostrelju
pjevaj bratu na veselju

Ref.

Eto mene, mili moji
sad srecnija ne postoji
krivudavom stizem cestom
ponosim se rodnim mjestom

Ref.
