Well done, Ondrej! My favorite was O, rebicku zahradnicky. What does that song title mean in English?

Thank you.
The name of the song uses the name of the flower Dianthus caryophyllus. (clove pink) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dianthus_caryophyllus
I would translate the title song: "Oh, clove pink"
Lyrics literally translated this:
"Oh, clove pink
Oh, the scented rose
How I forget you
When it's not possible
How I forget you
When it's not possible
If I forget once
People will remember me again
You used to be more sincere
When I followed you
You used to be more sincere
When I followed you"

Thank you for your response. I am glad that the Czech folk reminds you of the roots of the family.
