from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Milenka travička
Language: Moravian (Moravština) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ty milotské zvony 
pěkně vyzváňajú, 
lidé povidajú: 
Co to znamenajú? 

Jedni povídajú: 
Pútníčkové idú, 
druzí povidajú: 
Pochovávat budú.

Pochovávat budú 
jednej vdovy syna, 
co ho otrávila
galanečka milá. 

Neščasná galanko, 
jak na pohřeb půjdeš? 
Neščasná galanko, 
jak naříkat budeš?
