– Beli že mi, beli
Moj syn premilený!
Či ma budeš chovať,
Ej, na moje starie dni?

– Budem, mamko, budem,
Kým sa neožením;
A keď sa oženim,
Ej, potom vás oddelím.

M, Búvaj žemi, búvaj,
Len ma neunúvaj!
Čo ma viac unúvaš,
M, Menej sa nabúvaš.

M, Belej, že sa, belej,
Na hori zelenej,
Na hori zelenej,
M, V košielki bielenej.

M, Košelôčka biela,
Šila ju Mariška,
Šila ju hodbábom
M, Pod zeleným hájom.

Beli že mi, beli
Moj andelík biely,
Len mi neuletej,
Ej, do tej čiernej zemi!

“Beli, my son, beli,
My beloved son!
Will you take care of me,
Hey, in my old days?”

“I will, mother, I will,
While I am not married;
But when I get married,
Hey, then I will leave you.”

M, Go to sleep, go to sleep,
Do not tire me!
The more you tire me,
M, The less you sleep.

M, Sleepy, sleepy,
On the green mountain,
On the green mountain,
M, In your little white shirt.

M, The little white shirt,
Mary has sewn it,
She has sewn it with silk
M, In the green meadow.

Beli, my son, beli,
My little white angel,
Just don’t fly away,
Hey, to the black earth!
