Translation

Lyrics

Ztratil sem kolícek, ztratil sem od nápravy;

postojte volecci—postojte!—Nový to vyspraví.

Pujdu si pro neho rovnú já do sece—

Co komu súzeno, tomu neutece.

Translation:

I’ve got a loose axle, that means the axle-pin’s gone;

now oxen wait for me—wait for me!—I’ll make another one.

Over there I’ll cut one from that fine elder tree.

Who can escape his fate? For what must be, must be.

Written by: Leoš Janáček
