Translation by Josef Srb-Debrnov (1836 - 1904)
Prsten
Language: Moravian (Moravština)
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.

Der Ring
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Moravian (Moravština)
Töne, mein Gesang, hell die Donau lang, Daß der Herzgeliebte freundlich uns empfang'. Hurtig, alle Mann, schirrt die Rosse an! Ihr Gesellen, setzt euch lustig, lustig auf's Gespann! Ich vergaß mein Kränzlein, ach mein goldnes Ringlein bei der Mutter mein. In der bunten Truh' ist es eingesperrt, mit dem roten Bande, fest und treu versiegelt mit des Liebsten Herz. Töne, mein Gesang, hell die Donau lang!
