Keď sa slnko skloní na Horehroní
Chce sa mi spievať, zomrieť aj žiť
Keď sa slnko skloní na Horehroní
Túžim sa k nebu priblížiť
Na tráve ležím a snívam
O čom sama neviem
V tom vánku, čo ma kolíše
Keď je slnko najnižšie
Najkrajšie stromy sú na Horehroní
To tiché bratstvo vraví poď
Sem sa vždy vrátim keď ma niečo zroní
Vravia to stromy: z piece zhoď
Na tráve ležím a snívam
O čom sama neviem
V tom vánku, čo ma kolíše
Keď je slnko najnižšie
Á... haleluja...
Keď sa slnko skloní na Horehroní
Tam niekde v ďiaľke náš zvon zvoní
Keď má ma to bolieť tak nech ma bolí
Raz sa to stratí do čiernej hory
Na tráve ležím a snívam
Oči tíško plačú
V tom vánku, čo ma kolíše
Keď je slnko najnižšie
Á... á... á... á...
Na tráve ležím a snívam
Oči tíško plačú
V tom vánku, čo ma kolíše
Keď je slnko najnižšie
Najkrajšie stromy sú na Horehroní
When the sun goes down in Horehronie
I want to sing, die and live
When the sun goes down in Horehronie
I wish I could get closer to the sky
I'm lying on the grass and dreaming
Of what, I don't even know
In the breeze that gently sways me
When the sun is at its lowest point
The most beautiful trees are in Horehronie
A silent brotherhood is telling that
I come back here when I feel sad
The trees are saying: shake it off
I'm lying on the grass and dreaming
Of what, I don't even know
In the breeze that gently sways me
When the sun is at its lowest point
Ah... hallelujah...
When the sun goes down in Horehronie
Out there somewhere far away our bell is ringing
When it hurts, let it hurt
One day it will vanish in the black mountain
I'm lying on the grass and dreaming
My eyes are crying softly
In the breeze that gently sways me
When the sun is at its lowest point
Ah... ah... ah... ah...
I'm lying on the grass and dreaming
My eyes are crying softly
In the breeze that gently sways me
When the sun is at its lowest point
The most beautiful trees are in Horehronie
