Common lyrics of Vlha, vlha… with an English translation
Vlha, vlha – pekný vták,
The golden oriole – what a pretty bird,
pekný vták, pekný vták,
pretty bird, pretty bird!
nerob hniezda pri cestách,
Don’t nest by the roads,
pri cestách…
by the roads.
Cestou chodí človek zlý,
The roads are travelled by an evil man,
Človek zlý, človek zlý,
evil man, evil man,
Tvoje deti zahubí,
he will kill your hatchlings
Zahubí…
he will kill them…
Vlha, vlha – pekný vták,
The golden oriole – what a pretty bird,
pekný vták…
pretty bird…
