Common lyrics of Zahučali chladné vjetry v doline with an English translation

Zahučali chladné vjetry v doline,
The cold winds roar in the valley

vjadne kvítí v tej našej dedine,
and the flowers in our village wilt

Ej mamičko, dneska ja svadbu mám,
Oh, dear mother, it’s my wedding day

mamičko moja, dneska sa vydávam.
my dear mother, I am getting married today.

Zlubil sa mi prespolný šuhajíček,
I fancy a handsome fellow from another place

zarostá mne k vašemu chodníček,
and the path to your house is overgrowing

Ej mamičko, jak na vás spomenu,
Oh, dear mother, when I think of you,

mamičko moja, slzy mňa zalejú.
my dear mother, my eyes fill with tears.

Zahučali chladné vjetry.
The cold winds roar.
