Keď som šiou na vojnu, museu som sa vrátiť,
Keď som šiou na vojnu, museu som sa vrátiť,
Museu som sa mojej milej za lásku zaplatiť,
Museu som sa mojej milej za lásku zaplatiť.
„Tu máš milá štyristo na hlinenom stole,
Tu máš milá štyristo na hlinenom stole,
Zober si to duša moja, to sa šetko tvoje,
Zober si to duša moja, to sa šetko tvoje.”
„A ja ti to neberem, to je šetko málo,
A ja ti to neberem, to je šetko málo,
Veď si sa ty namilovau mojho lička darmo,
Veď si sa ty namilovau mojho lička darmo.”
„Keď sa ti to nepáči, zober sa, poď s nami,
Budeš nám tam šaty prať na tichom Dunaji.”
When I left for the war I had to return,
When I left for the war I had to return,
So that I pay my sweetheart for her
love,
So that I pay my sweetheart for her
love.
"Here are, my sweetheart, four hundred on the clay table,
Here are, my sweetheart, four hundred on the clay table,
Take them, my darling, they are all
yours.
Take them, my darling, they are all
yours."
"I won’t take it,
It is not enough,
Since you caressed my face
In vain."
"If you don’t like it, come on, come
with us,
You’ll wash our garments in the
waters of the calm Danube."
