lyrics

Kebych byla jahodú malým kvítkem v háji,
věru bych prokvétala každým rokem v máji.

A i tak bych zavoňala v širej po doline
aby vůňa šohaja táhla k mej dědině.

Keby prišel počestný a mňe líčka hladkál,
k temu bych sa sklonila jak jahoda sladká.

Translation:
If I were a small strawberry bloom in the forest,
I would bloom every year in May.

And I would be fragrant over the wide valley
so my fragrance would pull a young man towards my village.

If some honorable [man] came and would stroke my cheeks,
I would bend toward him like a sweet strawberry.
