kukuruzna zrnca
bice nocas puna soba
zaljubljenih srca
Ref.
Ti si moje a ja tvoje
ku, ku, kukuruzno zrnce
stavi me u srce
cuvaj zuto zlato
ljubicu te zato
Moja mila, kad bi bila
kukuruzna svila
ti bi mene, zlatno zrnce
uvila u srce
Ref.
Plemenito srce tvoje
imanje je moje
ljubav ce nam isklasati
mojom ces se zvati
Ref.
