A já ti uplynu

Language: Moravian (Moravština)

Our translations: ENG

A já ti uplynu 
preč po Dunajíčku!
A já chovám doma 
takovú udičku,
co na ní ulovím 
kdejakú rybičku.
A já se udělám 
divokým holubem,
a já budu lítat 
pod vysokým nebem.
A já chovám doma 
takové havrany,
co mně vychytajú 
kdejaké holuby!

A já se udělám 
tú velikú vranú,
a já ti uletím 
na uherskú stranu.
A já chovám doma 
takovútu kušu,
co ona vystřelí 
všechněm vranám dušu.
A já se udělám 
hvězdičkú na nebi,
a já budu lidem 
svítiti na zemi.
A sú u nás doma 
takoví hvězdáři,
co vypočítajú 
hvězdičky na nebi.
A ty přec budeš má,
lebo mi tě, Pán Bůh dá!
