Slavíkovský polečko malý,
nebudeme, synečku, svoji,
nebudeme, néní to možná,
ani nám to,
můj synečku, tvá mama nedá.
Co pak je nám po našé mamě,
naša mama, nama neviádne.
Jenom ty mě, má panenko, jenom ty měchcej.
Jenom ty mač na debró noe ručenky podej.

That Nightingale Lea
Language: English  after the Moravian (Moravština)
That Nightingale Lea, just a small field,
my dearest lad, we will not be wed,
we cannot wed, we are not allowed,
we cannot wed,
my dear lad, for your mother says no.
So what if my mother tells us no,
my mother does not have the say-so.
You are my dearest girl, you are my only true love;
give me your hand, your dear soft hand, as you say good night.
