Kumova zdravica

veselo pjevaju
svi svatovi, oj djevojko
veselo pjevaju
Samo mlada, samo mlada
ne moze od jada
samo mlada, oj djevojko
ne moze od jada
Cuvegija, cuvegija
ne moze od svija
cuvegija, oj djevojko
ne moze od svija
Ja podizem ovu casu
u zdravlje nasih mladanaca
dragi mladenci, stari svate
djeverovi, djeveruse, kumovi
i ostali kiceni svatovi
Sazelimo mladencima
srecu u buducnosti
da na stolu imaju
pogacice, pecenice, rujna vina, sljivovice
Neka im sve zlo od kuce bjezi
neka im rodi psenica bjelica
a u kuci neka im budu
sva zdrava djecica, zivjeli
Al' je lipo, al' lipo
u svatov'ma biti
al' je lipo, oj djevojko
u svatov'ma biti
Kumovati, kumovati
i kumom se zvati
kumovati, oj djevojko
i kumom se zvati
Kumova zdravica
Kico Slabinac's 'Kumova zdravica' stands as a quintessential example of Yugoslav folk music, blending traditional acoustic instrumentation with a distinct regional flair. Recorded in the mid-20th century, the track exemplifies the genre's characteristic use of the tambura and accordion, creating a soundscape that evokes the rural landscapes of the Balkans. As a staple of Slabinac's discography, the song reflects the enduring appeal of folk traditions that were widely popularized across the region during his active years. Its melodic structure and lyrical themes of hospitality and community resonate with listeners who appreciate authentic, unadorned musical storytelling rooted in the cultural heritage of the former Yugoslavia.
