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.
