Kletva Kralja Zvonimira Lyrics
Thompson
Lyrics
Prodali su naše snove Judini sinovi
suho zlato bacili u blato
buđenje je bilo tako lijepo,
možda prekasno i nevinom krvlju plaćeno
Ej, umorna zemljo izmučena
ima li još tko umrijeti za te
Prodali su naše snove Judini sinovi
suho zlato bacili u blato
pred vratima tuđim opet za pravdu molimo
težak sada križ mi nosimo
Ej, umorna zemljo izmučena
ima li još tko umrijeti za te
Kralju Dmitre Zvonimire
kroz planine odjekuju krici
u tamnici tvoji su vojnici
Izdajice, ne imali mira
ubili ste kralja Zvonimira
izdali ste naše velikane
i sinove što su majke dale
jučer gledam sliku naroda
baca cvijeće po herojima
a već sutra pobjednike sude
prodaše ih za Judine skude
Kralju Dmitre Zvonimire
kroz planine odjekuju krici
u tamnici tvoji su vojnici
Kralju Dmitre Zvonimire
kroz planine odjekuju krici
u tamnici tvoji su vojnici
