Věneček
Language: Moravian (Moravština)
Jidú ženci z rolí, přikrývajte stoly, stoly jaborové, užičky klenové. Kdo mně pro ně půjde, ten můj milý bude. Šel mně pro ně synek, bylo mu Martinek, já sem mu slúbila svůj zelený vínek. Vinku můj, vínku můj, co ti mám udělat? Mámli ťa opustit? A lebo ťa nechat? Má panenko krásná, nestrhaj mia z jasna, trhaj mia na podzim, až sa já zhotovím!

Our translations: ENG
Schnitter ziehen heimwärts. Schnell die Tische decke! Tische sind aus Ahorn und die Eßbestecke: Wer sie schafft zur Stelle, sei mein Herzgeselle! Wollte sich der Martin diesen Lohn verdienen. Hab' ich ihm versprochen meinen Kranz, den grünen. Lieber Kranz, lieber Kranz! Sag, was wird aus dir nun? Soll ich dich [festhalten]1, Soll ich dich von mir tun? "Ach, du schönes Mädchen! Musst mich noch bewahren. Wenn der Herbst kommen wird, nimm mich aus den Haaren!"
