Prsten
Language: Moravian (Moravština)
Hraj, maziko, hraj, z cicha na Dunaj, budem sa ubírat na milého kraj. A vy, formané, širujte koně, a vy, družbové, sedajte, sedajte na ně! Ztracila sem vínek, můj žzlatý prstýnek u mamičky mej. U mej matery v truhle zamčený, červeným jabúčkem s milého srdečkem zapečacený. Hraj, maziko, hraj, z cicha na Dunaj.
