Šlo děvče na travu na lučku zelenu. Němohlo ji nažát pro rosu studenu. Po lučce chodilo, žalostně plakalo. Nadešlo tam šípek, na tym šipku kvitek. Kvitku, milý kvitku, já tebe utrhnu. Nětrhaj mne v zimě, moja krasa zhyně. Nětrhaj mne v letě, dy slunečko peče. Nětrhaj mne v zimě, moja krasa zhyně. Utrhni mne z jara, moja krasa stala.

Una volta una fanciulla voleva falciare il prato verde. Ma la falce tagliava male nella rugiada mattutina. La fanciulla camminò su e giù, si lamentò e pianse molto. Poi vide rose di campo sulla strada davanti a sé. Rosellina, rosellina mia, ora dovresti essere sbocciata. Sbocciami a primavera, così la mia bellezza durerà. Non mi sbocciare d'inverno, altrimenti son perduta, e neanche in estate dovresti appassire nella calura. Sbocciami a primavera, così rimarrò giovane come oggi, Sbocciami a primavera, così la mia bellezza resterà.
