by Adolf Wilhelm Ernst von Winterfeld (1824 - 1888)
Translation Singable translation by Ferdinand Pujman

Nun mach' mir nicht das Herz bewegt
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Plattdeutsch 
Nun mach' mir nicht das Herz [bewegt]1 
Und lach' [doch 'mal! und freu' dich mal!]2
Am Himmel schon die Lerche schlägt, 
Im Holz die Nachtigall. 

Was starr'st du in die Abendgluth? 
Die Blumen duften in dem Gras!
Der Vogel singt aus Übermuth,
Und du bist still und blaß.

Opuštěná
Language: Czech (Čeština)  after the German (Deutsch) 
O nebud' déle smutna tak
a zasměj se a zjasni zrak,
svou píseň pěje skřivan zas 
i slavík v jarní čas.

Proč v západ růžný teskně zříš?
Hle vůni dýše celý svět,
vše vůkol slastí jásá již,
tvůj ret jen tich a bled.
