Thompson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ima jača ljubav, ljubav zemlje moje.
Sjećaš li se draga, pričale su kiše,
Za ljubav se gine, zbog Hrvatske diše.
Ljutu travu, na ljutu ranu,
Dat ću draga ja i život za nju.
Hej, ljutu travu, na ljutu ranu.
Onu istu našu košulju pripremi.
Na tavan je stavi, za mene je spremi.
Bit će ona opet i sinu po mjeri
Kao što je bila mom djedu i meni.
