Dárek z lásky

Language: Czech (Čeština)

Our translations: FRE

Když jsem šel přes lávky,
našel jsem korálky
na pěti šňůrečkách navlečené:
dal-li je děvčátku
milý na památku,
bude mít srdéčko zarmoucené.

Každý to dobře ví,
že i ten nejmenší
dáreček z lásky je nejmilejší:
přijde-li k ztracení,
nikdy potom není
stříbrem ani zlatem k nahražení.

Signe d'amour

Language: French (Français) after the Czech (Čeština)

Comme je traversais le pont,
J'ai trouvé des perles,
Enfilées sur cinq rangs :
La jeune fille à qui
Son bien-aimé l'a donné en souvenir
Doit être affligée.

Tout le monde le sait,
Même le plus petit
Signe d'amour est le plus doux :
Quand il est perdu,
Alors jamais
Ni l'or ni l'argent ne le remplacent.
