Rada pila, rada jedla,
Rada tancovala,
Rada tancovala,
Rada tancovala,
Ani si len tú kytličku
Neobranclovala,
Neobranclovala,
Neobranclovala.
Nedala si štyri 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.
She drank with joy, she ate with joy,
She danced with joy,
She danced with joy,
She danced with joy.
Her little skirt,
She did not even crinkle it,
She did not even crinkle it,
She did not even crinkle it.
You did not give four coppers,
As I did,
As I did,
As I did.
So that you can dance,
While I stand around,
While I stand around,
While I stand around.
