Moji siví volci
Language: Czech (Čeština)
Moji siví volci, co na mne hledíte? Esli vy to na mne, esli vy povíte! Nebudu já biča na vás šanovat, budete to potem, budete banovat! Nejhorší však bude, vrát'a sa k polednu, jak já jen maměnce do očí pohlednu!

Meine grauen Ochsen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Czech (Čeština)
Meine grauen Ochsen, steht nicht und seht mich an. Wenn ihr mich verratet, wart ihr mir übel dran. Wenn ihr es saget, die Peitsche schon' ich nicht, Zahlt ihr mit Schweiß und Müh, was ihr mir angericht'! Aber das Schwerste ist, ob ich zu Mittag dann, Ob ich der Mutter zu Haus ins Gesicht schaun kann!
