Ztracená ovečka
 (Sung text for setting by A. Dvořák)
 Matches base text
Language: Czech (Čeština)  after the Lithuanian (Lietuvių kalba) 
Včera, včera za večera,
ztratila se má ovčička.
Hej, kdož mi hledat pomůže
mou ovečku jedinkou? 

Šla jsem prosit denici,
mne denice odbývá:
Ráno ohníček slunci
musím rozdělávat.

Šla jsem prosit večernici,
večernice mne odbývá:
Musím večer lůžko
Pro slunéčko stlávat.

Šla jsem prosit měsíček,
mésíček mi odpovídá:
Mečem mne rozpůlili,
smutná je líce moje.

Šla jsem prosit slunéčko,
Mně slunéčko odpovídá:
Devět dní ji hledat budu
A na desátý nezajdu.
