Kol'kor kaplic, tol'ko let,

Bog nam daj na svet živet!

Živio, oj živio, oj živio na svet!

Naj bo stara, al' pa mlada,

Vsaka ima fanta rada.

Živio, oj živio, oj živio na svet!

Kdor pa kislo se drži,

Ta za našo družbo ni!

Živio, oj živio, oj živio na svet!

God, let us live as many years,

As there are drops of wine in our glasses!

Here's to life, here's to life, here's to life!

No matter whether she is old or young,

Every woman is happy to have a lad.

Here's to life, here's to life, here's to life!

For anyone who is a sourpuss,

There is no room for you at this party!

Here's to life, here's to life, here's to life!

V dolini tihi je vasica mala.
V večernem mraku vse že mirno spava.
Le eno okno še odprto je.
Na njem slonelo žalostno dekle.

Vse že spava samo mesec sveti.
Tja na okno otožnemu dekleti.
In jo sprašuje zakaj da še ne spi.
Zakaj tak grenke solze briše si.

Slavček pel je pel je pesem svojo.
Jaz storila sem ljubezen mojo.
Al' on odšel je odšel je daleč proč.
Zapel zavriskal je v tiho noč.



In the quiet valley there is a small village.
In the evening dusk all is calmly sleeping.
Just one window still is open.
On it was leaning a sad girl.

All is still sleeping just the Moon is shining.
On the window of the melancholy girl. 
And is asking her why she isn't asleep.
Why she is wiping her bitter tears.

Nightingale sang and sang his song.
I hid my love.
But he went, he went far away.
He sang, he whistled in the silent night.
