Palaukėj pamiškėj. [English translation]

On the field near the woods a young warrior was lying,

And a grey horse was standing by his feet,

And a cuckoo came and sat at his side,

Oh my dear cuckoo, thou have so pied feathers,

My dear cuckoo, thou have so pied feathers,

Oh thou fly dear cuckoo to my father and my mother,

Thou fly dear cuckoo to my father and my mother,

And do not tell dear cuckoo, I was killed here,

Do not tell dear cuckoo, I was killed here,

Oh tell, dear cuckoo, I was made to marry here,

Tell, dear cuckoo, I was made to marry here,

Oh I was made to marry here by a thin spear in the hand.
