A já ti uplynu preč po Dunajíčku!

A já chovám doma takovú udičku,

Co na ní ulovím kdejakú rybičku.

A já se udělám divokým holubem,

A já budu lítat pod vysokým nebem.

A já chovám doma takové havrany,

Co mně vychytajú, co mně vychytajú kdejaké holuby!

A já se udělám tú velikú vranú,

A já ti uletim na uherskú stranu.

A já chovám doma takovútu kušu,

Co ona vystřelí všechněm vranám dušu.

A já se udělám hvězdićkú na nebi,

A já budu lidem svítiti na zemi.

A sú u nás doma takoví hvězdáři,

Co vypočítajú hvèzdičky na nebi.

A ty přec budeš má, a ty přec budeš má,

Lebo mi tě Pán Bůh dá,lebo mi tě Pán Bůh dá!

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Flow, Danube, ebb and flow.

It’s time for me to go.

I’ve my trusty friend that catches all my wishes.

So, beware my rod and reel, you crafty fishes.

And if I’ve a mind to,

I’ll become a wild dove,

soaring up and smiling, smiling on my true love.

Ah, yet back at home, I have a coalblack raven!

Wild doves won’t escape him stalking high in heaven!

Or, if I wished it so,

I could become a crow,

Winging far and distant to the furthest borders.

But I have a crossbow, which can shoot its arrows,

Straight enough to steal the souls of crows and sparrows.

If I were a great star shining in the darkness,

I would thrill the people,

With my dazzling brightness.

There are learned men who chart the stars at nighttime.

They and you will soon discover a great secret!

Ah! You were meant for me.

Yes! You were meant for me,

For the great god Pan the great god has destined you for me!

 

流動，多瑙河，潮起潮落。

是時候我該走了。

我有我信賴的朋友，能夠抓住我的所有願望。

所以，要小心我的桿和捲軸，你們這些狡猾的魚。

如果我有心思，

我會成為一隻野鴿子，

飆升和微笑，對我的真愛微笑。

啊，回到家裡，我有一隻漆黑烏鴉！

野鴿子不會逃脫在天堂高高徘徊！

或者，如果我希望如此，

我可以變成烏鴉，

飛到遙遠的地方，到最遠的邊界。

但我有一個可以射箭的弩，

直接足以偷走烏鴉和麻雀的靈魂。

如果我是一個在黑暗中閃耀的偉大之星，

我會激動人心，

憑藉我耀眼的光芒。

有學者在夜間繪製星星圖表。

他們和你很快就會發現一個很大的秘密！

啊！你是為我而天造地設的。

對！你是為我而天造地設的，

偉大的牧羊神，偉大的神注定了你是為我而設的！
