Keby som bol vtáčkom

Keby som bol vtáčkom, letel by som za les,

pozrieť sa, čo robí, pozrieť sa, čo robí

mamička moja dnes,

pozrieť sa, čo robí, pozrieť sa, čo robí

mamička moja dnes,

Košieľku mi šije, na mňa si spomína:

Vráť mi, Bože, vráť mi, vráť mi, Bože, vráť mi,

toho môjho syna,

vráť mi, Bože, vráť mi, vráť mi, Bože, vráť mi,

toho môjho syna.

If I Were A Little Bird

If I were a little bird, I'd fly beyond the wood,

to see what she's doing now, to see what she's doing now,

my mama who's so good,

to see what she's doing now, to see what she's doing now,

my mama who's so good.

She's sewing me a shirt, and thinking all the time.

Send me back, Lord, send me, send me, Lord, oh send

me back this son of mine,

send me back, Lord, send me, send me, Lord oh send 

me back this son of mine.
