Co sem to udělal?
Language: Czech (Čeština)
Co sem to udělal? Jaká to vzpomněnka! Gdyž bych já měl pravit cigánce maměnka. Cigánce maměnka, cigánu tatíček, rači bych si ut'al od ruky malíček! Vyletěl skřivánek, vyletěl z ořeší, moje truchlé srdce nigdo nepotěší.

Was hab' ich da getan?
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Czech (Čeština)
Was hab' ich da getan? Träume ich, wache ich? Nennt die Zigeunerfrau wirklich ihr Söhnchen mich? Soll'n sie mir Eltern sein, dieses Zigeunerpaar? Lieber mir das Messer, lieber ins Herzblut klar! Flog eine Lerche auf, flog mit hellem Singen, Meiner Herzenstrauer ist kein Trost zu bringen.
