Dejte klec jestřábu ze zlata ryzého;
nezmění on za ni hnízda trněného.
Komoni bujnému, jenž se pustou žene,
zřídka kdy připnete uzdy a třemene.
A tak i cigánu příroda cos dala:
k volnosti ho věčným poutem, k volnosti ho upoutala.

Donnez une cage d'or pur à l'épervier
Language: French (Français)  after the Czech (Čeština)
Donnez une cage d'or pur à l'épervier,
il n'échangera pas contre elle son nid épineux.
Au coursier fougueux qui galope dans la pusta,
vous attachez rarement des brides et un mors.
Et de même la nature a donné au tsigane quelque chose:
elle l'a enchaîné par un lien éternel à la liberté.
