Oříšek léskový
Language: Moravian (Moravština)
Dyž sem išéł přes hory,
přes hory,
přes ten háj zelený,
nadešeł sem oříšek,
oříšek léskový.
A to nebýł oříšek,
oříšek,
než to było jádro
a co sem sa nachodíł,
a to všecko darmo.
A co sem sa nachodíł,
nachodíł,
za tebú cérečko,
a ešče's mi nedała
po vůli pérečko.
Aj nedała, nedała,
nedała,
ale ti možu dat,
može sa ti, synečku,
po tvojéj vůli stat.

The Hazelnut
Language: English after the Moravian (Moravština)
When I climbed over the hills,
over the hills,
then across a green grove,
there I came across a nut,
it was a hazelnut.
But it was no hazelnut
after all,
but just an empty shell,
I had walked such a long way,
and for nothing at all.
I had walked such a long way,
a long way,
my dear, to seek you out,
but you have still given me
no feather for my hat.
Ah, I have not, I have not,
I have not,
but I can do so still;
I can do so, my dearest,
I still can, if you will.
