Cigánské Melodie (Gypsy Songs) (Op. 55)
Aj! Kterak trojhranec můj (Ah! how my triangle ringing)
Aj! Kterak trojhranec můj přerozkošně zvoní,
jak cigána píseň, když se k smrti kloní!
Když se k smrti kloní, trojhran mu vyzvání.
Konec písni, tanci, lásce, bědování.
Konec písni, tanci, lásce, bědování.
Hey! How my triangle rings out
Hey! How my triangle rings out in splendour!
How easy to approach death with such a sound!
One can approach death to the sound of the triangle!
No more singing, loving and dancing!
