by Ozef Kalda (1871 - 1921)
Translation Singable translation by Max Brod (1884 - 1968)

Nehled'te, volečci
Language: Czech (Čeština) 
Nehled'te, volečci,
tesklivo k úvratím,
nebojte sa o mne,
šak sa vám neztratím!
Stojí černá Zefka
v olšině na kraju,
temné její oči
jiskrú ligotajú.
Nebojte sa o mne,
aj gdyž k ni přikročím,
dokážu zdorovat
uhrančlivým očím.

Seht nicht, ihr Öchselein
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Czech (Čeština) 
Seht nicht, ihr Öchselein, 
ängstlich zur Wende hin.
Fürchtet euch nicht um mich, 
da ich doch tapfer bin.
Steht die schwarze Seffka, 
steht sie am Erlenrand,
Ihre dunklen Augen 
glühn wie Funkenbrand.
Wenn ich zu ihr trete, 
laßt nur die Bangigkeit,
Bösem Blick, bösem Blick 
trotzt' ich immer, auch heut.
