S Bohem, rodný kraju
Language: Czech (Čeština)
S Bohem, rodný kraju, s Bohem, má dědino! Navždy sa rozlúčit, zbývá mi jedino. S Bohem, můj sesřičko, mých očí pomněnko! Ruce Vám obtúlám, žádám odpuštění, už pro mne návratu žádnou cestou není! Chci všecko podniknút, co osud poručí! Zefka na mne čeká, se synem v náručí!

Leb denn wohl, Heimatland
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Czech (Čeština)
Leb denn wohl, Heimatland, leb denn wohl, Heimatsort! Übrig blieb dies allein, übrig dies Abschiedswort. Lieber Vater, grollet nicht, und auch Ihr, Mütterlein, Und leb wohl, Schwester mein, du meiner Augen Licht! Könnt' ich nur einmal noch, könnt' ich euch küssen und abbitten! Doch kein Weg führt zurück meinen traurigen Schritten! Was bestimmt, trag ich nun, trag es in Not und Harm. Seffka dort wartet schon. Und mein Sohn ihr im Arm!
