by Adolf Heyduk (1835 - 1923)

Na lapačky přišli páni
 (Sung text for setting by V. Novák)
 Matches base text
Language: Czech (Čeština) 
Na lapačky přišli páni,
ukryju se ruče v stráni,
však cigána za vojáka
zlaťák s vínem nevyláká.

Volné rád mám živobytí
za svobodu toužím mříti,
ne za vůdce, jenž se skrývá,
když zaň žebrák krev vylívá.

Ať jde jenom vůdce s pány, 
kabátek-li premovaný,
a zář hvězdná z porty zlatné,
nepřátelům žíly zatne.

Composition:

    Set to music by Vítězslav Augustín Rudolf Novák (1870 - 1949), "Na lapačky přišli páni", op. 14 no. 2 [ voice and piano ], from Cigánské melodie, no. 2
