Vítaj, Janíčku (Kalda, set by L. Janáček) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Alto:
 Vítaj, Janíčku,
 vítaj tady v lese!
 Jaksá št'astná trefa
 t'a sem cestú nese?
 Vítaj, Janíčku!
 Co tak tady stojíš,
 bez krve, bez hnutí,
 či snad sa mne bojíš?

Tenor:
 Nemám já sa věru,
 nemám sa koho bát,
 přišel sem si enom
 nákolníček ut'at!

Alto:
 Neřež můj Janíčku,
 neřež nákolníčku!
 Rači si poslechni
 cigánskú pěsničku!

Women's chorus:
 Ruky sepjala,
 smutno zpívala,
 truchlá pěsnička
 srdcem hýbala.
