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, o… Džuli, o…

Džuli, o… Džuli

A htio sam da dugo traje taj san

O moja Džuli
