Ta černá cigánka
Language: Czech (Čeština)
Ta černá cigánka kolem sa posmětá. Proč sa tady drží, proč nejde do světa? Byl bych snad veselší, gdyby odjít chtěla; šel bych sa pomodlit hnedkaj do kostela.

Ist sie noch immer da, diese Zigeunerin?
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Czech (Čeština)
Ist sie noch immer da, diese Zigeunerin? Geht sie noch nicht weiter, geht sie noch nicht weiter, Nicht in die Welt hinaus, geht sie noch nicht in die Welt hinaus? Wohl wär's ein Glück für mich, wollt' sie abseits treten; Gleich wär' ich fröhlich und ging zur Kirche beten.
