Keď ja smutný pôjdem na tu vojnu,
Keď ja smutný pôjdem na tu vojnu,
Komu ja zanachám moju milú?
Komu ja zanachám moju milú?
Nachám ju ja, nachám kamarátom,
Počim sa ja z vojny domou vrátim,
Počim sa ja z vojny domou vrátim.
When I leave for the war dolefully,
When I leave for the war dolefully,
Who will take care of my sweetheart?
Who will take care of my sweetheart?
I leave her to my comrade, to my
comrade,
Until I come back from the war,
Until I come back from the war.
