from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Usnula, usnula
Language: Moravian (Moravština) 
Usnula, usnula, 
Ja Maria v ráji,
Ja Maria v ráji, 
Ja v ráji na kraji.

Uzdál se jí sniček, 
Z jejího srdéčka,
Vyrůstla jí na něm, 
Krásná [jablonečka]1.

A ešče se ptala
Čím ty luky kvitnú?
Tú červenú růží
Či matičkú Boží?

A ešče se ptala, 
Čím to pole kvitne,
Tú bílú lelijú, 
Či pannú Marijú?

A ešče se ptala
Čím ty hory kvitnú?
Tým zeleným listem 
Čili pánem Kristem?
