Kume, brate
Saban Saulic · Other Songs - Saban Saulic
vise od planina posutih zlatom
zato te zovem kumom i bratom
u nama tece slovenska krv
u nama tece slovenska krv
Ref. 2x
Kume, brate, brige me prate
gazi me zivot k'o stari drum
jednom je neko odavno rek'o
Bog je na nebu, na zemlji kum
Nasi su stari kumovi bili
zajedno rasli, lutali, pili
kad god si mog'o ti si i pomog'o
u nama tece slovenska krv
u nama tece slovenska krv
Ref. 2x
Sunce je vecito, kamen i reka
traje nam kumstvo vise od veka
nek' nasa deca nastave tako
u nama tece slovenska krv
u nama tece slovenska krv
Ref. 2x
