Polka, happy

1. Beyond Kamenz in the heathland
you´ll find the finest heath, but my heart is aching,
because I have to go for it alone.
If you went with me to look for it,
it would be much finer
and I would love you.
If you went with me to look for it,
it would be much finer
and I would love you.

2. Beyond Kamenz in the heathland
the grass is very soft, but my heart is aching
because you didn´t go with me.
If you went with me to look for it,
it would be much finer
and I would love you.
If you went with me to look for it,
it would be much finer
and I would love you.

3. Beyond Kamenz in the heathland
the heath has grown high, but my heart is aching,
because you´ve found somebody else,
I tore out all the heath
because I didn´t want to say how much I had loved you, when the heath was blooming.
I tore out all the heath
because I didn´t want to say how much I had loved you, when the heath was blooming.

Polka, wjasele

1. Pód Tu-rje-jom we gó-li tak rěd-ny
wrjos tam mam, mě wu-tšo-ba tak bó-li,
až dejm ter-gaś jen sam.
Ga-by tam ze mnu šła,
za wrjo-som glě-da-ła, to rěd-ny
wrjos by był, ja by śi lu-bo měł.
Ga-by tam ze mnu šła,
za wrjo-som glě-da-ła, to rěd-ny
wrjos by był, ja by śi lu-bo měł.

2. Pód Turjejom we góli jo měka
tšawicka, mě wutšoba tak bóli,
až njejsy ze mnu šła.
Gaby tam ze mnu šła,
za wrjosom glědala, to rědny
wrjos by był, ja by śi lubo měł.
Gaby tam ze mnu šła,
za wrjosom glědala, to rědny
wrjos by był, ja by śi lubo měł.

3. Pód Turjejom we góli stoj wrjos
zas wusoko, mě wutšoba tak
bóli, až mas něnt drugego.
Som wrjos wšen wutergał,
až njeby powědał, kak lubo som
ši měł, ak w góli wrjos jo był.
Som wrjos wšen wutergał,
až njeby powědał, kak lubo som
ši měł, ak w góli wrjos jo był.
