Oh timeless lady Zadar Jewel on the Adriatic Sea You've seen empires rise and fall And fleets built up and razed for thee But who could resist your charms? Not mortal men of flesh and blood Who turn crystal blue wine dark To watch your oleander bud Your ramparts are now walkways Time has worn smooth your cobblestone Red roof tiles smile at lovers Who kiss behind an ice cream cone Musical lady Zadar You captivate with organ song1 The sea both cantor and choir Even the sun dances along Church bell ringing fills your streets Age has not made your beauty cease The heavens feel closer here For your embraces holds inner peace
Notes:
Zadar is home to an art installation called the Sea Organ: https://www.zadar.hr/en/experience/history-culture/sea-organ-sun-salutation
