Obrázek milého
Language: Moravian (Moravština)
Šla děvečka do haječka,
do zeleneho,
Potkała tam malerečka
černookeho.
Malerečku černooky,
pěkně tě prosim,
vymaluj mi obrazeček,
co v srdci nosim.
Nemaluj mi, malerečku,
svateho Jana,
vymaluj mi, malerečku,
meho galana.

My Lover’s Portrait
Language: English after the Moravian (Moravština)
Down to the grove went a maiden,
it was lush and green,
and there she met a painter man
with dark eyes that shone.
Oh please, dear dark-eyed painter man,
I beg you, please paint,
paint me a portrait of the love
that is in my heart.
Do not paint me, dear painter man,
a holy Saint John,
paint for me, my dear painter man,
my love of my own.
