Hajsi, vy siví volci
Language: Czech (Čeština)
Hajsi, vy siví volci, bedlivo orajte, nic vy sa k olšině nic neohledajte! Ode tvrdéj země pluh mi odskakuje, strakatej fěrtúšek listím pobleskuje. Gdo tam na mne čeká, nech rači zkamení, moja chorá hlava v jednom je plameni.

Heissa! ihr grauen Ochsen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Czech (Čeština)
Heissa! ihr grauen Ochsen, Pflügt mir das Feld geschickt, Nicht nach der Erle dort, Nicht mir zurückgeblickt! Springt der Pflug zurück von harten Ackerschollen, Was für ein Kopftuch dort, möchtet ihr wissen wollen? Wollt' doch, wer dort wartet, wollt' gleich zu Staub vergehn. Weh mir, weh den Sinnen, wenn sie in Flammen stehn.
