Žalo dievča (The Mower)
Czech source: Anon.

Žalo dievča, žalo trávu
neďaleko Temešváru,
keď nažalo, poviazalo,

"Šuhaj, šuhaj z druhej strany,
poď mi dvíhať batoh trávy!"

nechce-li ťa za mňa dáti.

Ešte ťa len kolimbali,
už ťa za mňa slubovali:
ešte si len húsky pásla,
už si v mojom srdci riastla.
