Zadala mamka, zadala dcéru
Language: Slovak (Slovenčina)
Zadala mamka, zadala dcéru Daleko od sebe, Zakazala jej, prikázala jej: Nechod' deéro ku mne! Ja sa, udelám ptáčkom jarabým, Poletím k mamičke. A sadnem sitam na zahradečku, Na bielu laliju. Vyjde mamička: čotoza ptáčka, čo tak smutne spieva? Ej, hešu, ptačku jaraby, Nelámaj laliju! -Ta daly ste mňa za chlapa zlého Do kaja cudzieho; Veru mne je zle, mamička milá, So zlým mužom byti.
