Lyrics[]
Stigla je sama sa ljetom
Prišla i rekla hello
Pogledi su nam govorili više od riječi
K’o da se zvijezda sa neba
Spustila meni na dlan
Znao sam samo o njoj da zove se Džuli
Džuli, Džuli
A htio sam da dugo traje taj san
Pamtim još dodir te ruke
Lice i njen pogled blag
Odmah je jasno mi bilo da ludo je volim
Kao i sve ljetne snove
I nju mi je odnio dan
Ostalo samo je sjećanje na jedan juli
Džuli, Džuli
A htio sam da dugo traje taj san
Pitam u noćima nebo
Da li je to bio san
Ili je stvarno te noći me ljubila Džuli
Prošetam sam pored mora
Dočekam tako i dan
Zamolim more da vrati mi Džuli i juli
Džuli, oh… Džuli, oh…
Džuli, oh… Džuli
A htio sam da dugo traje taj san
O moja Džuli
She arrived alone with summer
Came over and said hello
Our looks said more than words
As if a star from the sky
Had fallen into my hand
I only knew that her name was Julie
Julie, Julie
And I wanted that dream to last for long
I still remember the touch of that hand
Her face and her subtle look at me
I knew then that I love her madly
Like all the summer dreams
The day took her away
Only a memory of a July was left
Julie, Julie
And I wanted that dream to last for long
At night, I ask the skies
If that was only a dream
Or if it was really Julie kissing me that night
Tonight I’m alone by the sea
And the daylight had arrived
I asked the sea to give me back Julie and July
Julie, oh… Julie, oh…
Julie, oh… Julie
And I wanted that dream to last for long
Oh my Julie
