Section Listing
- The stars that twinkle in the sky / Ty hvězdičky tam na nebi
- I dreamed that you were dead / Mně zdálo se žes umřela
- I am that fairy-tale knight / Já jsem ten rytíř z pohádky
- When God was in a happy mood / Když Bůh byl nejvíc rozkochán
- The soughing of the trees / Umlklo stromů šumění
- The spring came flying / Přilítlo jaro z daleka
- Visions of Heaven / Když jsem se díval do nebe
- You little tiny singing birds / Vy malí, drobní ptáčkové birds
- Just like a lime tree / Jsem jako lípa košatá
- All you who are oppressed / Vy všichni, kdo jste stísněni
- That little bird sings / Ten ptáček, ten se nazpívá
- And so as the moon / Tak jak ten měsíc v nebes báň
