from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation Singable translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Rada pila, rada jedla
Language: Slovak (Slovenčina) 
Rada pila, rada jedla
Rada tancovala,
Rada tancovala,
Rada tancovala,

Ani si len tú kytličku
Neobranclovala,
Neobranclovala,
Neobranclovala,

Nedala si štri groše
Ako som ja dala,
Ako som ja dala,
Ako som ja dala,

Žeby si ty tancovala,
A ja žeby stála,
A ja žeby stála,
A ja žeby stála.

Tanzlied aus Medzibrod
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Slovak (Slovenčina) 
Essen, Trinken, ja das passt ihr, 
und im Tanz rumdrehen,
und im Tanz rumdrehen, 
und im Tanz rumdrehen,

doch die Säumchen an dem Rocke 
mag sie nicht annähen,
mag sie nicht annähen,
mag sie nicht annähen.

Lass ich für die Musikanten 
soviel Geld aufgehen,
soviel Geld aufgehen, 
soviel Geld aufgehen,

Dafür tanzt sie mit dem Andern 
und ich darf zusehen,
und ich darf zusehen,
und ich darf zusehen.

From a Bartók score.
