A ty Anča krásna,
Už vo voze kasňa,
Na kasni periny:
Už ťa vyplatili.

A z tejto dediny
Na druhú dedinu,
Ideme opáčiť
Novotnú rodinu.

Kasňa je z javora,
Perina z pápera,
A to švarnô devča
Už nemá frajera.

Keď nemá frajera,
Ale bude muža,
Nebude prekvitať
Ako v poli ruža.

– Ruža som ja, ruža,
Pokým nemám muža;
Keď budem mať muža,
Spadne so mňa ruža.

Teraz sa ty, Anča,
Teraz sa oklameš:
My pôjdeme domov
A ty tu ostaneš.

And you, beautiful Anča,
Your trunk is on the cart.
In the trunk is your bedding:
You are well provided.

We go from this village
To the other one,
So that we meet
The new family.

The trunk is of maple,
The pillow is of down,
And this pretty girl
No longer has a sweetheart.

Though she has no sweetheart
She’ll have a husband.
She will not wither
Like a rose in the meadow.

“I am a rose, a rose
While I don’t have a husband.
When I have a husband
The rose will fall off me.”

Now you stay here, Anča.
You’ll be surprised:
We go home now,
But you are going to stay.
