Letí havran, letí...
Language: Slovak (Slovenčina)
Letí havran, letí, radostne si kráka, nesie krm pre deti, pre rodinku svoju, čo tam v hniezde čaká. Beží vlk a vyje, mäsa kus má v pysku pre vĺčatá svoje, čo hladujú, mrznú v dlhom zimovisku. Lež ta v lono hory nejde nik, neletí, čože to za tvory, v biede bez pomoci? To slovenské deti, to slovenské deti.
