Hó, hó, krávy dó

Hó, hó, krávy dó,

How! Now! there's the cows!

nesó mliko pod vodó,

Each one full of milk so creamy,

nesó mliko pul zidlíka.

And their eyes are vain and dreamy.

Kde je naše jalová?

One cow has no calf at all,

U bozího kostela.

Hides behind the churchyard wall.

Kostel se borí,

Crash! falls the church spire!

stodola horí.

The new barn is on fire!

Skoc panenko do vody,

Girl, jump in the water cold,

máš tam zlaté korály.

You'll find corals made of gold.

Nac bych já tam skákala,

No, I won't jump, I'll get hurt,

sukýnky si máchala,

And I'll wet my fine new skirt.

kde bych si je sušila?

Then how can I get it dry?

U pastýra v koutku,

Shepherd on the meadow

na zeleném proutku.

He will hand it up for you.
