Široké rukávy a široké gatě

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

Our translations: ENG FRE ITA

Široké rukávy a široké gatě
volnější cigánu nežli dolman v zlatě.
Dolman a to zlato bujná prsa svírá;
pod ním volná píseň násilně umírá.
A kdo raduješ se, tvá kdy píseň v květě,
přej si, aby zašlo zlato v celém světě!

Nella larga, ariosa veste di lino

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

Nella larga, ariosa veste di lino,
lo zingaro è più libero che in oro e seta!
Già, la giacchetta d'oro (degli ussari) fascia stretto il petto
tanto che impedisce i lieti, incalzanti suoni del libero canto.
E chi si diletta al suono dei canti,
lascia cadere l'oro, il vile oro all'inferno!
