Wenn Abends roth die Wolken zieh'n
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Plattdeutsch
Wenn Abends roth die Wolken zieh'n, so denk ich deiner Treu, es zog vorbei das ganze Heer und du warst auch dabei. Und wenn vom Baum die Blätter fall'n, so denk ich deiner Treu, es fiel so mancher brave Bursch und du warst auch dabei. Dann setz'ich mich so traurig hin und denke deiner Treu! Ich ess' allein mein Abendbrot und du bist nicht dabei.

Žena vojínova
Language: Czech (Čeština) after the German (Deutsch)
Když mraky bouřné táhnou kol, těch dávných toužim chvil: kdys táhl zástup vojska tu, a ty v něm též jsi byl. Kdy s větví v trávu spadá list, těch dávných toužim chvil: tak mnohý hoch tam mrtev kles a tys v jich počtu byl. Pak smutně sednu ke krbu, těch dávných toužim chvil, chléb hořký smáčím slzou svou, o kéz bys u mne byl!
