The coastland tunes, consisting of songs which Slavoljub Lžičar had arranged under the same title some time before, correspond fully by their form to that of that of the song-wreath. Bright, cheerful tunes in major tonalities of the Mediterranean type and a resonant choral texture are the main characteristics of this composition containing eight songs. The simple, reticent Vozila se šajka, mala barka (A small boat was floating) is followed by Zbogom, neharna dušo (Good bye, my careless sweetheart) in the rhythm of a slow barcarole and Popuhnul je tihi vjetar (A light breeze blew), with the soloists singing at the beginning of each stanza. The song Aj zelena, aj zelena (O you green, green forest) written as a dialogue between female and male voices, leads to the pastoral Oj, Jelena, vodo ti ledena (O, Jelena, you ice cold water) and the Zibala Jane (Jane was rocking her baby) which marks the first culmination of this composition with its almost orchestral structure.
The lender, lyrical song Vrbniče nad morem (O Vrbnik above the sea) is followed by the dynamic final Majka Maru preko mora zvala (Mother was calling Mara across the sea) which, with its partly canonic arrangement, rounds up the composition in its basic tonality, the bright F sharp major.
