Ptichka

V chuzhbine svjato nabljudaju
Rodnoj obychaj stariny:
Na volju ptichku vypuskaju
Pri svetlom prazdnike vesny.

Ja stal dostupen uteshen'ju;
Za chto na boga mne roptat',
Kogda khot' odnomu tvoren'ju
Ja mog svobodu darovat'!

Ptáček

To u nás doma zvyklost stará,
já i zde v cizině ji ctím:
a ptáčka v jasný svátek jara
dnes na svobodu propouštím.

A nereptám už proti Bohu,
jsem vesel, šťasten snad,
že stvořenícku volnost
mohu byť jednomu jen darovat!

possibly by Josef Bohuslav Foerster (1859-1951)
