from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Ej, a ked' mňa zabiju
Language: Slovak (Slovenčina) 
Ej, a ked' mňa zabiju,
dobre mňa schovajte,
Ej, na bystrický cinter,
tam mňa pochovajte.

Ej, na bystrický cinter,
nedelako dverí,
Pojde mojá milá,
srce ju zabolí.

,,Tu ležia nožicky,
čo k nám chodievali;
Tu ležia ručičky,
co mna obímali."

Andante assai, parlando
Language: Hungarian (Magyar)  after the Slovak (Slovenčina) 
Hej, hogyha majd elesem,
Zólyomba vigyetek,
Hej, gyászos temetõbe,
Oda temessetek.

Hej, gyászos temetõbe,
A kapuhoz közel,
Ha kijön a rózsám,
Hadd sirasson majd el.

,,Ki hozzánk annyit járt,
Most a föld takarja;
Ki annyiszor ölelt,
Itt porlad a karja."
