by Vítězslav Hálek (1835 - 1874)

Ten ptáček, ten se nazpívá
 (Sung text for setting by A. Dvořák)
 Matches base text
Language: Czech (Čeština) 
Ten ptáček, ten se nazpívá,
jak by byl píseň živá;
ba kdo v svém srdci lásku má,
nedivte se, že zpívá!

A ptáček ten tak od srdce
a k srdci mluvit umí,
že div by člověk neplakal,
když srdcem porozumí.

Ba často mně to připadá,
že jsem mu druhem vlkání,
neb i ty moje písně jsou
jen jemné naří kání.
