Pri hojdaní cudzieho dieťaťa
(prebásnil Ján Štrasser)

Ži si dobre, toľko zdravia musíš mať,
koľko ja tu musím dieťa kolísať.

Ref.:
Hajaj, búvaj, sladko spi,
na trh išla tvoja mama.
Hajaj, búvaj, dieťatko,
mamička sa vráti zakrátko.

Ži si dobre, hoci nie je fér tak žiť
mamička šla na trh niečo zarobiť.
Ref.

Moje kamarátky skáču, tancujú,
ja musím hojdať dieťa, piesne spievať mu!
Ref.

Moje kamarátky môžu cukríky si dať,
ja tu musím trčať, detské plienky prať!
Ref.

Rocking someone else’s child
(English translation by Jerry Silverman)

You can’t imagine, it drives me wild,
To sit here all day and rock this child.
Chorus:
Hush-a-bye, don’t you cry!
Your mama she has gone out, some food to buy.
Hush-a-bye, sleep my child;
Your mama will return in just a while.

I can’t take it, it’s just not fair -
Your mother has gone off to work somewhere.
Chorus

Other young girls dance and play,
While here by the craddle I must stay.
Chorus

Other young girls candies are noshing,
And I’ve got a pile of diapers for washing.
Chorus
