Jarní by Leoš Janáček — Lyrics
1. Kdyby věděla ta moje milá,
že mě hlavička včera bolela,
byla by vstala, mě uvítala ta moje milá.
2. Přijdu zvečera tiše za šera,
na ni zavolám, by mě slyšela.

About Jarní
Leoš Janáček's Jarní is a secular part-song for SATB choir, sung in Czech. The title translates to 'Spring', and the lyrics capture a tender, intimate scene. The first verse describes a lover's wish that his beloved would have known of his headache, implying she would have risen to greet him. The second verse paints a hushed evening arrival, calling out to her as a sliver of moon shines. The final verse speaks of a gentle understanding between lovers, with the wind whispering and the beloved listening. The imagery is idyllic, evoking a sense of deep personal connection and the simple beauty of a spring evening.
