Svatojanské mušky tančija po hrázi
Language: Czech (Čeština)
Svatojanské mušky tančija po hrázi, gdosi sa v podvečer podle ní prochází. Nečekaj, nevyjdu, nedám já sa zlákat, mosela by po téj má maměnka plakat. Měsíček zachodí, už nic vidět není, stojí gdosi stojí v našem záhumení. Dvoje světélka zářija do noci. Pane Bože, nedaj! Stoj mi ku pomoci!

Des lucioles dansent sur la digue
Language: French (Français) after the Czech (Čeština)
Des lucioles dansent sur la digue. A la tombée de nuit, quelqu'un s'y promène. N'attends pas, je ne sortirai pas, je ne me laisse pas séduire, un jour, ma pauvre petite mère en pleurerait. La lune se couche, on ne voit plus clair, quelqu'un se tient debout près de notre grange. Deux petites lumières brillent dans la nuit noire. Mon Dieu, mon Dieu ! Venez à mon secours !
