Kec, kec, kec kec kume
izgori ti kesa
lete kune slatovi se cude
raspalite tamburasi pa kako nam bude

Volim, volim kuma
a volim i kumu
volim kumu je l' nam svima dala
dobra vina i kulina ni se pokajala

Joj joj joj kume
ne uzdaj se ume
ne uzdaj se, idi kuci spavat
pa te kuma tako mrko nece pogledavat
