Má milá dosud maličká
Language: Czech (Čeština)  after the Scottish (Scots)
Má milá dosud maličká, má milá dosud maličká, — jen rok neb dva ji nechám být, však spraví se jí hlavička. Já v nešťastný jí řekl den, já v nešťastný jí řekl den, — kdo dostane ji, z lásky ne, za bídný groš ji koupí jen. Sem nejlepšího ze sklepu, sem nejlepšího ze sklepu; ať kde a kdo se potěší, mně vždycky volno u čepu. My pijem jako pohani, my pijem jako pohani; — náš kaplan zlíbal šumařku a splet’ si potom kázání.
