Svatba komáří
Language: Moravian (Moravština)
Komáři se ženili,
trošky vína něměli.
Přiletěł tam słaviček,
přineš vina židliček.
Komáři se opili,
ež komára zabili.
Komár leži v komoře,
muška płače na dvoře.
Něpłač, muško, co ti je?
Ešče komár ožije.

The Mosquitos’ Wedding
Language: English after the Moravian (Moravština)
M - m - m - m the mosquitos got married,
m - m - m - m not a drop of wine they had.
A nightingale flew in then,
brought them a jug full of wine.
The mosquitos got quite drunk,
one mosquito had to croak.
The mosquito lies there dead,
a fly is weeping outside.
No need to weep, fly, my love;
your mosquito will revive.
