The song “Dalmacijo” talks about the beauty of this Croatian region, with a poetic style and a bit of melancholy.
Here’s a small sample of his lyrics:
“zvona su se, čula u podne
Tiho plove, moje čežnje
danas te se sjećam
danas i svo vrijeme”
The composer, Franco Ferrera Cvitanović, also has two rock albums, his album “Ten pieces for classical guitar,” and two more albums to learn the Croatian language through songs.
He also has composed two singles for the Croatian groups “Laudantes” and “Klapa Neverin”.
