Mesiku na nebi hlubokem
Svetlo tve daleko vidi,
Po svete bloudis sirokem,
Divas se v pribytky lidi.
Mesicku, postuj chvili
Reckni mi, kde je muj mily
Rekni mu, stribmy mesicku,
Me ze jej objima rame,
Aby si alespon chvilicku
Vzpomenul ve sneni na mne.
Zasvet mu do daleka,
Rekni mu, rekni m kdo tu nan ceka!
O mneli duse lidska sni,
At'se tou vzpominkou vzbudi!
Mesicku, nezhasni, nezhasni!

O, moon, up in the deep sky,
Your light sees distant places,
You travel round the wide world,
You look into people’s houses.
You travel round the wide world,
You look into people’s houses.

O, moon, stay for a moment,
Tell me, o, tell me where is my love!
O, moon, stay for a moment,
Tell me, o, tell me where is my love!

Tell him please, silver moon in the sky,
That I embrace him,
That he should for at least a while,
Remember his dreams!
That he should for at least a while,
Remember his dreams!

Light up his distant place,
Tell him, oh, tell him who waits here!
Light up his distant place,
Tell him, oh, tell him who waits here!

If he dreams of me,
May this memory waken him!

O, moon, don’t disappear,
Don’t go!
