Entrance into unique Elafiti archipelago.
Dalmatian klapa song originally from Dubrovnik.
Most Dalmatian songs are intimate love songs.
| NA ME POGLED TVOJ OBRATI | NOW YOU CAST YOUR EYES UPON ME |
| Na me pogled tvoj obrati | Now you cast your gaze upon me, |
| i ti viđi me na mire¹ | and see me sitting on the wall, |
| viđi viđi jednokrati | see me, see me for a moment, |
| koj' za tobom sveđ² umire. | the one who is always dying for you. |
| Da je tinta sinje more | If the ink were the blue ocean, |
| da je knjiga ravno polje | and the book a vast open field, |
| još ti ne bi ispisala | still I could not write for you |
| sve me gorke nespokoje. | all my bitter restless woes. |
| ¹mir = zid ²sveđ = vazda |
