Po nábreží koník beží

Lyrics - Slovak

(Folk song from Slovakia)

1. Po nábreží koník beží, koník vraný,
skadiaľže si, šuhajíček, maľovaný?
Skadiaľ som, stadiaľ som,
slovenského rodu som, duša moja. (repeat last 2 lines)

2. Z tej jedličky dve hrdličky na tú lúčku.
Ja som Slovák, ty Slovenka, daj mi rúčku.
Rúčku ti podávam,
tebe verná ostávam, duša moja. (repeat last 2 lines)

3. Pod lipkou, nad lipkou iskierečka,
skadeže si moja milá frajerečka.
Skadiaľ som, stadiaľ som,
slovenského rodu som, duša moja. (repeat last 2 lines)

4. Povedz že mi, duša moja, čia ty budeš,
povedz že mi, duša moja, čia ty budeš?
Už som povedala,
že ja budem len tvoja, duša moja. (repeat last 2 lines)

English Translation - A horse runs along the embankment

1. A horse runs along the embankment, a crow-black horse,
where do you come from, nice admirer?
Where am I from, where am I from,
I am of Slovak descent, my soul. (repeat last 2 lines)

2. From that hemlock, two doves on that branch.
I’m Slovak, you Slovak, give me your hand.
I give you my hand
I remain faithful to you, my soul. (repeat last 2 lines)

3. Under the linden tree, above the linden tree a spark,
you are my dear friend.
Where am I from, where am I from,
I am of Slovak descent, my soul. (repeat last 2 lines)

4. Tell me, my soul, whose will you be,
tell me, my soul, whose will you be?
I already said
that I will only be yours, my soul. (repeat last 2 lines)
