Oh, how long is Széplak Street in Bratislava

1. Alas, but the Széplak Street in Bratislava is long. ; Three new recruits are marching along it. ; Three brown girls are crying after them. ; None of them have their dear baby among them. ; ; 2. The tricolor flag of the Republic, ; But many new recruits swear under it. ; He holds up three fingers to the high sky, ; Thus he swears for the long three years. ; ; 3. Alas, but it is troublesome to serve three years, ; Waiting for a dry fig tree to turn green. ; A dry fig tree's branch is bending down, ; My baby is beautiful, there is no one like her in the village.
