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 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.
