Ukoliebavka
Language: Slovak (Slovenčina)
Beli žemi, beli Moj syn premilený! Čima budeš chovať, Ej, na moje starie dni? - Budem, manko, budem, Kým sa neožením; Akeď sa ožením, Ej, potom vás oddelím. - Búvaj že mi, búvaj, Len ma neunúvaj! Čo ma viac unúvaš, Menej sa nabúvaš. Belej že sa, belej Na hori zelenej, V košielki bielenej. Košelôčka biela, Šila ju Mariška, Šila ju hodbábom Pod zeleným hájom. Beli že mi, beli Moj andelik biely, Len mi neuletej, Ej, do tej čiernej zemi!

„Beli fiam, beli, aludj fiam lelkem! Fogsze majd gondozni, hej, mikor megöre – egszem?“ „Foglak, anyám, foglak, amig legény leszek; ha meghásasodom, hej, tetőled elme – egyek. Mmm, aludjál, aludjál, engem békén hagyjál! Amig békén nem hagysz, mmm, addig el nem alhatsz. Mmm, zöld erdőbe menj el, fehér inged vedd fel; ingecskéd fehérlik, mmm, a zöld erdőn végig. Mmm, fehér ingecskédet Maris varrta néked, zöldelő berekbe mmm, selyemmel himezte. Beli fiam, beli, fehérszárnyú tünder! A fekete földbe, hej, csak el ne repü – ülnél! Beli, kicsi fiam, beli . . .
