Dolu dolinami,
Ej, čierny havran letí,
Už moj milý otec
Ej, v čiernej zemi leží.

V čiernej zemi leží,
Ej, on tam odpočivá,
On sa mne nespítá,
Ej, ak sa mu čelad má?

Deep down in the valley,
Hey, a black raven is flying.
My dear father already
Lies, hey, under the black earth.

He lies under the black earth,
Hey, there he rests.
He will never ask me,
Hey, how are you, my servant?
