English translation:Song
Explanation:
There is a stream of water flowing past Hradisca (a name of a village);
a boy is coming to us and he is bringing something for me;
He brings me his love, tied up in a scarf;
I loved you, my golden picture.


The song is actually quite longer, do you want the translation of the full song or are you using just the first part?

This is the full text of the song:
Okolo Hradišca vodenka tece,
ide k nám šohajek, cosi ne nese,
nese ne lásku svázanú v šátku,
milovala sem ta, zlatý obrázku.
nese ne lásku svázanú v šátku,
milovala sem ta, zlatý obrázku.

Milovala sem ta, bylo to špásem,
nevedel šohajek, že falešná sem.
Falešná byla švarná devcina,
nevedel šohajek, jaká prícina.

Tá moja prícina taková byla,
že ne mamulka velive lála.
Nelaj ne, mamko, ide k nám Janko,
mosím mu nachystat za širák pérko.

The translation of 2nd part:
I loved you but it was just for fun,
the boy did not know that I am was not true to him.
The girl was false
and the boy did not know what was the reason for it.

My reason was
that my mum kept telling me off.
Don\'t tell me off, mother, Janko (boy\'s name) is coming
I have to prepare a feather for him to put on his hat.
