from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Kalina
Language: Czech (Čeština) 
Our translations:  ENG
Proč, kalino, v strouze stojíš? 
zdali ty se sucha bojíš? 
Kdybych já se sucha bála, 
ještě bych já hlouběj stála. 
Proč, kalino, kalin nemáš 
a jimi se nečervenáš? 
Já jsem kalin dosti měla 
a jimi se červenala. S
vrchu ptáci ozobali, 
z důli panny olámaly.
Každá panna hochu svému 
a já smutná nemám komu. 
Ach kdybych já komu měla, 
byla bych si přispíšila.
