Kolín
Language: English after the Moravian (Moravština)
O Kolín, o Kolín,
o town on a fine plain,
many a fine young man
will perish in your name.
Many a fine young man,
many a brother dear,
my own old father soon
will shed many a tear.
My own dear old father,
dear old mother as well,
both will be bound to weep
with my dear darling girl.
O Kolín, o Kolín,
you ought not to be here,
for you loving mothers
will lose their sons so dear.
Mothers lose a dear son,
sisters a dear brother,
dear one her dear lover,
her darling grey falcon.
