Vy vroucí písně spějte

Vy vroucí písně spějte
Tou nocí v mživou dál;
Všem pozdravení dejte,
Jež tíží tichý žal!
Tam spějte přes padoly,
Kde moje milka dlí,
A rcete, co mne bolí,
A proč letíte k ní!
A zapláče-li s vámi,
Povězte mi to zas:
Jinak ať dolinami
Zavane vítr vás!

O heartfelt songs, pray sing
Language: English  after the Czech (Čeština)
O heartfelt songs, pray sing
this night through misty space;
to all folk a greeting bring
who suffer in silence.
Hurry across the valley
where my love does abide
and tell her of what ails me,
why you fly to her side.
If she weeps at words I send,
tell me so with all haste,
or may you else by the wind
round the valleys be chased.
