| lyric | There at the feast
we were all eleven of us,
ay, all eleven of us;
returned we were ten
und feeling anxious,
ay, we were feeling anxious.
„Wait for a while, my lads,
tehre in Nitra meadow,
ay, tehre in Nitra meadow;
must count ourselves first
and see what that will show,
ay, and see what that will show.“
Counting told us that a comrade dear was mising,
ay, a comrade was missing,
we found him fallen,
a sword beside him lying,
ay, sword beside him lying, ay!
„My comrades don’t leave me
laying as I was found,
not lyaing as I was found;
pray dig with my sword a
grave deep down in the ground,
ay, grave deep down in the ground, ay!“ |
