Prsten

Language: Moravian (Moravština)

Our translations: DUT ENG

Hraj, maziko, hraj,
z cicha na Dunaj,
budem sa ubírat na milého kraj.

A vy, formané, širujte koně,
a vy, družbové, sedajte, sedajte na ně!

Ztracila sem vínek,
můj žzlatý prstýnek u mamičky mej.

U mej matery v truhle zamčený,
červeným jabúčkem
s milého srdečkem zapečacený.

Hraj, maziko, hraj,
z cicha na Dunaj.

De ring

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the Moravian (Moravština)

Hoor, muziek, hoor,
helder langs de Donau.
Liefde wijst de weg.
 
Span het paard voor de wagen, ga vast weg,
wacht niet op mij, maak plezier.
 
Ik heb mijn krans niet bij me,
mijn krans en mijn gouden ring ook niet.
 
Ze zijn thuis opgeborgen
in de oude kist die met het hart
van mijn  liefste verzegeld is.
 
Hoor, zingen, hoor
Helder langs de Donau
