Holubička z dubu letěla k holubu: milý nad rybníčky pase tam koníčky, a já za ním půjdu. Holubička krotká s holoubkem se zobká: proč bysme taky tak neměli se zobkat, když jsme mladí obá.

Du chêne la petite colombe S'envola vers son pigeon : Son bien-aimé par-dessus les étangs À la pâture mène les chevaux, Et moi après lui je vais. La douce petite colombe Et son petit pigeon se becquettent : Pourquoi donc nous aussi Nous ne pourrions nous becqueter, Quand nous sommes jeunes tous les deux.
