from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Milenec vrah
Language: Moravian (Moravština) 
Our translations:  ENG
Stójí Jano při potoce, eja hoj!
umývá si z krvi ruce, Bože mój!

Co's Janíčku, co's porobił, eja hoj!
co's Janíčku, co's porobił,
že si's ruce zakrvavił, Bože mój!

Postříláł sem hołubičku, eja hoj!
postříláł sem hołubičku,
co sedała v okénečku, Bože mój!

Ve dně v noci vrkútała, eja hoj!
ve dně v noci vrkútała,
mně smutnému spat nedała, Bože mój!

Nebyła to hołubička, eja hoj!
nebyła to hołubička,
než to była frajírečka, Bože mój!

Jeď ty, Jano, v čiré pole, eja hoj!
jeď ty, Jano, v čiré pole,
co tam vidíš všecko tvoje, Bože mój!

Viďél on tam dvě horičky, eja hoj!
viďél on tam dvě horičky,
a to były šibeničky, Bože mój!
