ɲɛvandruj miliː mɔj ɲɛvandruj saːm
Don’t you travel, my dear, don’t you travel alone,

Mrchou kamarátou na ťebe znám,

Budeš sa jim brániť, zabijú ťä,

Budeš sa jim brániť valaškami,

You’ll fight them with your sheperd’s axe

Ale ťä porúbu šabličkami.
alɛ cɛ pɔruːbu ʃablitʃkami
But they’ll take you down with their swords.
