Slovak lyrics[]
Dnes žiarivo nám slnko svieti,
Lúčami zhrieva mieru kvet,
"Poď k nám!" - je výzva šťastných detí,
Kde je mládež mocná, vzniká nový svet.
Refren:
Poď k nám, z nás každý chcel by dať
Ceste tvojej pravý smer,
Ty sám rád budeš poznávať
Tú pieseň, čo spieva pionier.
V tej piesni dnes sa k mieru hlásia
Tí, čo chcú s nami v šíku stáť,
V tej piesni celá mládež jasá
Ide brániť svoju vlasť a pracovať.
Refren

Today the sun shines brightly on us,
The flower warms peace with its rays,
"Come to us!" - is the challenge of happy children,
Where youth is powerful, a new world is born.
Chorus:
Come to us, each of us would like to give
The right direction of your path
You will be happy to meet yourself
The song that the pioneer sings.
In that song today, they call for peace
Those who want to stand in line with us,
In that song, the whole youth rejoices
He goes to defend his country and work.
Chorus
