Translation by Josef Srb-Debrnov (1836 - 1904)
Šípek
Language: Moravian (Moravština)
Šlo děvče na travu na lučku zelenu. Němohlo ji nažát pro rosu studenu. Po lučce chodilo, žalostně plakalo. Nadešlo tam šípek, na tym šipku kvitek. Kvitku, milý kvitku, já tebe utrhnu. Nětrhaj mne v zimě, moja krasa zhyně. Nětrhaj mne v letě, dy slunečko peče. Nětrhaj mne v zimě, moja krasa zhyně. Utrhni mne z jara, moja krasa stala.

Wilde Rose
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Moravian (Moravština)
Ging einst ein Mägdelein Früh an dern Wiesenrain, mäht auf der blanken Au, schmerzte sie der kalte Tau. Ging dann an den Rain entlang, schluchzte und weinte bang. Fand einen Dornenstrauch, fand eine Rose auch. «Liebliches Röselein, sollst mir gepflückt nun sein». Wer mich im Winter bricht, sieht meine Schönheit nicht, doch wenn der Sommer glüht, bin ich schon halb verblüht. Den, der im Lenz mich pflückt, immer mein Glanz beglückt, den , der im Lenz mich pflückt, immer, ja immer mein Glanz beglückt.
