Potkal sem mladou cigánku
Language: Czech (Čeština)
Potkal sem mladou cigánku, nesla se jako laň, přes prsa černé lelíky a oči bez dna zhlaň. Pohledla po mně zhluboka, pak vznesla sa přes peň, a tak mi v hlavě ostala přes celučký, celučký deň.

Ich traf eine junge Zigeunerin
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Czech (Čeština)
Ich traf eine junge Zigeunerin, Leicht schritt sie wie ein Reh, Schwarz auf der Brust die Zöpfe, Das Auge ein finstrer See. So hat sie tief mich angeblickt, Bis flink sie davonsprang Und blieb mir so im Kopf zurück Wohl Nacht und Tag, Nacht und Tag lang.
