Tahne vůňa k lesu z rozkvetlé pohanky
Language: Czech (Čeština)
Tenor: Tahne vůňa k lesu z rozkvetlé pohanky. Alto: Chceš-li Janku vidět, jak spija cigánky? Tenor: Halúzku zlomila, kámeň odhodila; Tož už mám ustlané, v smíchu prohodila. Alto: Zem je mi za polštář, nebem sa přikrývám, a rosú schladlé ruce v klíně si zahřívám. Tenor: V jedné sukénce na zemi ležala a moja poctivost' pláčem usedala.

Von der Heidin Wangen Zauberduft weht so...
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Czech (Čeština)
Tenor: Von der Heidin Wangen Zauberduft weht so zart. Alt: "Willst mich schlafen sehen, ganz nach Zigeunerart? Willst mich sehen? Ganz nach Zigeunerart?" Tenor:: Räumt sie ein Steinchen weg, einen Ast zur Seite: "Schon ist das Bett gemacht! schon zur Nacht bereitet!" Alt: Polster der Waldboden, Decke des Himmels Zier, Und kühlt der Tau die Hände, wärm ich im Schoß sie mir. Tenor: Trug ein Röckchen nur, lag auf dem Boden dort. Ach wie da jammernd wich meine Keuschheit von mir.
