Slavíkovský polečko malý

Slavíkovský polečko malý,
nebudeme, synečku, svoji,
nebudeme, néní to možná,
ani nám to,
můj synečku, tvá mama nedá.
Co pak je nám po našé mamě,
naša mama, nama neviádne.
Jenom ty mě, má panenko, jenom ty měchcej.
Jenom ty mač na debró noe ručenky podej.

Der kleine Acker

Klein ist unser Acker und Hüttlein.
Ach, ich kann ja nie dein Eigen sein.
Nimmer soll ich Dir im Arme ruhn.
Liebster, deine Mutter will uns nicht zusammen tun
Ob die gute Mutter Nein oder Ja sagt,
unsre Mutter wird nicht mehr gefragt.
Wenn du mich nur haben willst,
und wenn du mich nur liebst,
wenn du mir zur guten Nacht
dein kleines Händchen gibst.

by Josef Srb-Debrnov (1836-1904)
