Katarína Kalmárová – Tečie voda, tečie

Tečie voda, tečie (lyrics / text) ★ original

Tečie voda, tečie, po kameni žblnká,
čože mňa mamička, čože mňa mamička
v cudzom svete čaká.

Neraz ste mamička vy pre mňa plakali,
pokým ste ma mamko, pokým ste ma mamko,
diovkou vychovali.

Už ste mi mamička, svadbu vystrojili,
ja som nezbadala, ja som nezbadala,
jak ste ostareli.

Teraz ja mamička, budem sa starati,
by som vás do smrti, by som vás do smrti,
mohla vychovati.

The water rushes, it rushes (lyrics / text) ★ English

The water rushes, it rushes, it rushes over the stones
what is, mother, what is, mother
waiting for me in the strange world

You often cried for me mother
While you mother, while you mother
raised me as a girl

You’ve already, mother, fitted me for my wedding
I hadn’t seen, I hadn’t seen
how much you’d aged

Now I, mother, will take care of you
I would until your death, I would until your death
Be able to raise you

Translation credit goes to Christina Lincoln
