Sadaj slnko, sadaj, za ker malinový
Language: Slovak (Slovenčina)
Sadaj slnko, sadaj, za ker malinový, povedz dobrý večer môjmu šuhajovi. Sadaj dolu z voza, neseď jako koza, dosť si sa nastála, kým si ma dostala. Sadaj slnko, sadaj, za horu zelenú, a jak si nesadneš, stiahnem ťa za nohu. Svätý Mikulášu, žehnaj cestu našu, lebo my ideme k svätému sobášu.

Set, o sun, behind the trees, now the day is over, and in setting, say "Good night!" to my own dear lover. From the wagon get ye, don't sit staring at me, long enough you tarried, home then we'll be heading, we're off to the wedding. Set, o sun, behind the trees, where green woods are growing I shall pull you down by force, you're so slow in going! Good Saint Nich'las bless us on our journey help us; we're off to the wedding, home then we'll be heading.
