NOTE

LYRICS

Tavna noći, tavna noći, al’ si puna mraka
tavna noći, al’ si puna mraka.

Tavna noći, al’ si/puna ti si mraka,
srce moje još punije jada.
Jad jadujem, nikom ne kazujem:
majke nemam, da joj se potužim,
ni sestrice, da joj jade kažem.
Imam dragog, ali na daleko:
dok mi dođe, pola noći prođe,
dok zagrli i zora zarudi,
dok poljubi, i sunce se rodi.
