Is there a text to this? I somehow have the feeling the text is pretty dark from what I can understand (which is minimal ;P ), isn't it? But the melody is so happy sounding

Actually you were right. At least text of the first one is not much pleasant. Here is translation, sorry for my English: Song 1: Little meadow, unreaped. //: They killed Janošek (diminutive for Jan i.e. John), they killed Janošek in yesterday evening. :// When they killed him, they told him: //: 'Lie here, Janošek, lie here, murdered Janošek.' :// Song 2: Little sparrow-hawk, a little bird, how pretty he carries itself. //: He flew onto a dried little fir tree, then he had started wailing. :// He had started wailing, because of his dearist. //: As she did not want him, as she did not want him, because he did not have any soil. :// Song 3: //: Hlubočí, hlubočí, where is the water (means creek or river) turning around. :// //: And who does not have any girlfriend, and who does not have any girlfriend, should jump into it. :// //: I do not have any girlfriend, yet I will not jump into it. :// //: I would rather turn around (don't know how to translate this one), I would rather turn around on a black horse. ://

@@DanDan-kn8xk Oh wow, thanks for all the work translating it! :D I think all of them are pretty dark(well at least first and third one), but fascinating, especially with the contrast of the "happy" character of the songs :) Are they Czech or Slovak or mixed, do you know(- especially the first one)? And your English is good! Greets from Germany :)) I wish my Czech was that good! But I've only started learning and am so confused with all the Moravian dialects and mixes with Slovak language and all, so I never really know where all these beautiful songs are from :P
