Kopala studienku is a Slovak folk song whose melody has served as the basis for the Slovak national anthem, "Nad Tatrou sa blýska".
Kopala studienku, pozerala do nej,
či je tak hlboká, ako je široká,
skočila by do nej, ej, skočila by do nej.
A na tej studienke napájala páva,
povedzže mi, milá, holubienka sivá,
kohože si panna, ej, kohože si panna?
A ja ti nepoviem, lebo sama neviem,
prídi na večer k nám, mamky sa opýtam,
potom ti ja poviem, ej, potom ti ja poviem.
[edit] English translation
She was digging a well, looking into it,
If it is so deep, as it is wide,
She'd jump into it, ey, she'd jump into it.
And on the well she was watering a peacock,
Say me, dear, grey dove,
Whose maid are you, ey, whose maid are you?
And I don't say you, because I don't know myself,
Come to us tonight, I'll ask mummy,
Then I'll tell you, ey, then I'll tell you.
