Struna naladěna,
hochu, toč se v kole,
dnes, snad dnes převysoko,
zejtra, zejtra, zejtra zase dole!

Pozejtří u Nilu 
za posvátným stolem;
struna již, struna naladěna,
hochu, toč, hochu, toč se kolem!

Le corde (sono) accordate, ragazzo; balla in tondo!

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the Czech (Čeština)

Le corde (sono) accordate, ragazzo; balla in tondo!
Oggi felice, e ancora più lieto, ma domani triste: come dice il saggio!
E dopodomani sulla riva del Nilo, sacro agli antenati,
accordati gli strumenti, unisciti al ballo! Ragazzo, balla in cerchio!
