Můj drahý tatíčku,
(1920)
Part of a series or song cycle:
The Diary of One who Disappeared, (Zápisník zmizelého)
Můj drahý tatíčku,
Můj drahý tatíčku,
jak vy sa mýlíte,
že sa já ožením,
kterú mi zvolíte.
Každý, gdo pochybil,
nech trpí za vinu:
svojému osudu
rovněž nevyminu!
Father, how wrong you were
Father, how wrong you were
not to respect my pride,
choosing the girl that you
wanted to be my bride.
He who has sinned must be punished,
so life taught me.
So too must I accept
what my fate has brought me.
