Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, Croatia, where the Adriatic whispers low,
Your ancient stones and azure waves forever flow.
[Verse 1]
From Zagreb's heart, the Sava river parts,
To the rugged peaks where history left its marks.
A land of kings and Roman tales,
Where the Illyrian dreams softly sail.
[Pre-Chorus]
Reds of Plitvice, blues of the sea,
In your fields and forests, there's so much to see.
[Chorus]
Croatia, oh Croatia, where the winds do sing,
From the heights of Sljeme, to the old town ring.
With stories in your breeze, and stars in your night,
Croatia, you shine so bright.
[Verse 2]
In Dubrovnik's walls, the past embraced,
Echoes of commerce and fortress grace.
Dalmatian coasts with olives and wine,
Where sun-kissed islands in harmony align.
[Chorus]
Croatia, oh Croatia, where the winds do sing,
From the heights of Sljeme, to the old town ring.
With stories in your breeze, and stars in your night,
Croatia, you shine so bright.
[Bridge]
Where the Tambura's tune meets the klapa's echo,
And the Istrian truffles in autumn breeze blow.
The homeland of Tesla, dreams that inspire,
In every word, in every fire.
[Final Chorus]
Croatia, oh Croatia, where the winds do sing,
From the heights of Sljeme, to the old town ring.
With stories in your breeze, and stars in your night,
Croatia, you shine so bright.
[Outro]
Oh, Croatia, your Adriatic whispers low,
Forever in my heart, your spirit glows.
