from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Panenka a tráva
Language: Czech (Čeština)  after the Serbian (Српски) 
Usnula panenka, usnula v travičce
vzala jí s tváří travička ruměnec,
travičce panenka zeleň zas odňala,
Když potom ze spaní panenka procitla,
s trávou se vadila, k soudu ji pohnala:
"Vrať  mi,  vrať, trávo  zlá, vrať  mi  můj ruměnec!"
A na to travička panence vyčítá:
"Vrať mi dřív zeleň mou, kterous mi odňala,
vrátím ti, panenko, vrátím ti ruměnec!"
Dlouho se hádaly, tuze se vadily;
nakonec před kadim tak tak se smířily.
