by Chan I
Translation by Bohumil Mathesius (1888 - 1952)

Probděná noc
Language: Czech (Čeština)  after the Chinese (中文) 
Větrem se bambus houpá,
na kámen měsíce sed.
Do chvění Mléčné dráhy stín divoké kachny vzlét.
Na naše shledání myslím, 
na naše shledání, shledání myslím.
Víčka míjí sen, víčka má míjí sen.
Zatím co radostí zpívám, 
co radostí zpívám, zpívám,
strak repot vzbouzí už den, 
vzbouzí už den, vzbouzí den!
Lalalala lalala lalalala -- lalalalala lalala lalalala
lalalalalalala la la...
