A já ti uplynu
Language: Moravian (Moravština)
Our translations: ENG
A já ti uplynu preč po Dunajíčku! A já chovám doma takovú udičku, co na ní ulovím kdejakú rybičku. A já se udělám divokým holubem, a já budu lítat pod vysokým nebem. A já chovám doma takové havrany, co mně vychytajú kdejaké holuby! A já se udělám tú velikú vranú, a já ti uletím na uherskú stranu. A já chovám doma takovútu kušu, co ona vystřelí všechněm vranám dušu. A já se udělám hvězdičkú na nebi, a já budu lidem svítiti na zemi. A sú u nás doma takoví hvězdáři, co vypočítajú hvězdičky na nebi. A ty přec budeš má, lebo mi tě, Pán Bůh dá!
