Slavíkovský polečko malý

Language: Moravian (Moravština)

Our translations: ENG ITA

Slavíkovský polečko malý,
nebudeme, synečku, svoji,
nebudeme, néní to možná,
ani nám to,
můj synečku, tvá mama nedá.
Co pak je nám po našé mamě,
naša mama, nama neviádne.
Jenom ty mě, má panenko, jenom ty měchcej.
Jenom ty mač na debró noe ručenky podej.

Il pegno d'amore

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the Moravian (Moravština)

Minuscolo è il campicello, il campicello,
mai, amore mio, mai sarò tua
mai accadrà,
tua madre, amore mio, non acconsentirà mai.
Che ci importa della parola di mia madre, mia madre
non ci può comandare, che mi importa della parola,
la parola della madre, mia madre, lei non ci comanda.
Se solo tu, amatissima, se solo tu mi ami,
e mi dai la tua cara manina come buona notte...
