1. Hanka, be happy,
you beautiful girl,
you beautiful girl,
though you haven´t sown any grain,

2. Hanka, be happy,
you with your sleek hair,
you with your sleek hair,
bind the straw into golden sheaves,
bind the straw into golden sheaves.

3. Hanka, be happy,
your smile is so lovely,
your smile is so lovely,
though you are an orphan, you´ll sure have bread,
though you are an orphan, you´ll sure have bread.

4. Hanka, be happy,
you beautiful flower,
you beautiful flower,
your table is laid by your field,
your table is laid by your field.
