Dobrú noc 'Good night'
Slovak source: Folksong

Dobrú noc, má milá, dobrú noc,
nech ti je Pán Boh sám na pomoc.
Dobrú noc, dobre spi,
nech sa ti snívajú milé sny!

Snívaj sa ti sníčok, ach snivaj,
keď vstaneš, sníčoku veru daj,
že ťa ja milujem,
srdiečko svoje ti darujem.

Good night
English translation © Natalka Pasicznyk and Bohdana Ravliuk

Good night, my darling, good night,
May God himself watch over you.
Good night, sleep well,
May you dream sweet dreams!

Dream, little dream, oh, dream,
And when you wake up, believe
That I love you,
And give my heart to you.
