Milenec vrah
Language: Moravian (Moravština)
Stójí Jano při potoce, eja hoj!
umývá si z krvi ruce, Bože mój!
Co's Janíčku, co's porobił, eja hoj!
co's Janíčku, co's porobił,
že si's ruce zakrvavił, Bože mój!
Postříláł sem hołubičku, eja hoj!
postříláł sem hołubičku,
co sedała v okénečku, Bože mój!
Ve dně v noci vrkútała, eja hoj!
ve dně v noci vrkútała,
mně smutnému spat nedała, Bože mój!
Nebyła to hołubička, eja hoj!
nebyła to hołubička,
než to była frajírečka, Bože mój!
Jeď ty, Jano, v čiré pole, eja hoj!
jeď ty, Jano, v čiré pole,
co tam vidíš všecko tvoje, Bože mój!
Viďél on tam dvě horičky, eja hoj!
viďél on tam dvě horičky,
a to były šibeničky, Bože mój!

Lover Murderer
Language: English after the Moravian (Moravština)
Johnny’s standing beside the brook, hey, hey, hey!
from his hands he is washing blood, oh my God!
What have you done, Johnny my boy, hey, hey, hey!
what have you done, Johnny my boy,
why have you got blood on your hands, o my God!
I have shot a little grey dove, hey, hey, hey!
I have shot a little grey dove
that sat by my little window, o my God.
All day all night it cooed away, hey, hey, hey!
all day, all night it cooed away,
I could not sleep, all night all day, o my God!
O no little grey dove was she, hey, hey, hey!
o no little grey dove was she,
no, truly she was your girlfriend, o my God!
Ride out, Johnny, into the field, hey, hey, hey!
ride out, Johnny, into the field,
all you survey, all that is yours, o my God!
He saw out there two wee hillocks, hey, hey, hey!
out there two wee hillocks he saw,
it was his wee gallows he saw, o my God!
