"...Your soul will be satisfied,

your mind will be purified,

be sure that new strength here you gain.

That valley gives peace to all who come,

with friends they gather for walk."

"...Tvoja duša sa poteší, myseľ očistí,

novú silu tu načerpáš, buď si tým istý,

tá dolina pokoj dáva všetkým čo prídu,

na vychádzke aj s priateľmi spolu sa zídu"
