V okresném rybníku hastrman už po stáročá vyčína Lyrics

Na mílniku medzi dzedzinou a hustým lesem Rozléha sa panstvo místneho hastrmana Starý rybník obrastený rákosím Kam milenci chodzá sa muchlovat Za letných nocí, ked mesác čechrá hladzinu Však vácerí už na trúfalost doplacili Ked stoveký topelec ich stáhel Dol do svojej dŕžavy ve vodách Kde dva buclaté sumce strážá krištálové stavenisko Nebezpečným vladárem je: Hrádze búra i povodne spúšča, ked lomcuje ním srd Vtedy čérnu kačicu či čérnu svinu treba mu obetovat, zelináma z kvetnej nedele sa natret A hrnčeky s dušáma na čas znova nechá na pokoji Počmudzujúc fajku na vŕbe v cichosci pod Bottovým mesácem.


In the provincial Pond, a Water Goblin has been raging for Centuries (English Translation)

On the landmark between the village and a dense forest There lies the domain of the vicinal water goblin An old pond overgrown by bulrush Where young lovers come to fondle on summer nights, when moon shuffles the water line But many of them have paid for their boldness When the age-old nix drew them down into his manor in the waters Where two podgy catfishes guard the crystal residence A dangerous monarch he is: demolishing barriers and launching floods, when he rages in anger On such days, one needs to sacrifice to him a black duck or a black pig, get anointed with herbs from Palm Sunday, and then once again he leaves the cups with souls in peace for a while Smoking a pipe on the willow under the moon of Botto*.
(*Ján Botto, 19th century Slovak romanticist poet)
