A ja taka dzivocka by Saga Krasy is a Slovak folk song. Here are the lyrics translated to English.

I am such a damsel, cingi lingi bom.
I like to wreathe feathers, cingi lingi bom.

I like to wreathe, I will gladly give, cingi lingi bom.
I can even put them on hats, cingi lingi bom.

I like to wreathe, I will gladly give, cingi lingi bom.
I can even put them on hats, cingi lingi bom.

And I am just like my mother, cingi lingi bom.
Dark black eyes I must have, cingi lingi bom.

Dark black eyes, my mom had, cingi lingi bom.
I grew up looking like her, cingi lingi bom.

Dark black eyes, my mom had, cingi lingi bom.
I grew up looking like her, cingi lingi bom.

And you, gypsy, play music well, cingi lingi bom.
Do not flirt with the girls, cingi lingi bom.

With the pretty girls, cingi lingi bom, bom, bom.
So they do not wanter on the field, cingi lingi bom.

With the pretty girls, cingi lingi bom, bom, bom.
So they do not wanter on the field, cingi lingi bom.

And again, I am still single.
And again, I am still single.

Tell me, my beloved, will you be mine?
Tell me, my beloved, will you be mine?

I will not tell you, because I do not know myself.
I will not tell you, because I do not know myself.

Because I am a damsel, like a strawberry, I can’t work hard.
Because I am a damsel, like a strawberry, I can’t work hard.

It doesn’t matter that you can’t work.
It doesn’t matter that you can’t work.

There is a tree in the forest, and it’s twig will teach you how to work.
There is a tree in the forest, and it’s twig will teach you how to work.

I’m not even his, and he already wants to whip me.
I’m not even his, and he already wants to whip me.

Oh, I don’t want such a lover who can’t love me.
Oh, I don’t want such a lover who can’t love me.
