from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Ach, není tu
Language: Czech (Čeština) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ach, není, není tu, 
co by mě těšilo,
ach, není tu, není, 
co mě těší.

Co mě těšívalo, 
vodou uplynulo,
ach, není tu, není, 
co mě těší!

Vždycky mně dávají, 
co se mně nelíbí,
vždycky mně dávají, 
co já nechci.

Dávají mně vdovce, 
ten má jen půl srdce,
ach, není tu, není, 
co mě těší.

Ach, není, není tu, 
co by mě těšilo,
ach, není, není tu, 
co mě těší!
