Mgła mi do oczu zawiewa złona
Language:
Polish
Mgła mi do oczu zawiewa złona,
W prawo i wlewo ćmi naokoło;
Dumka na ustach brząknie i skona!
Niemo, och! niemo, bo niewesoło.
[ Nie ma bo, nie ma czego potrzeba!
Dawno mi tutaj nudno, niemiło:
Ni mego słońca! ni mego nieba!
Ni mego czegoś! Czym serce żyło.]1
Kochać i śpiewać było by błogo!
W cudzej tu pustce śniłbym jak w domu:
Kochać, o, kochać! i nie ma kogo!
Śpiewać, o, śpiewać! I nie ma komu!
[ Niekiedy wzrokiem ku niebu wiercę,
Poświstom wiatru wcale nie łaję:
Zimno, o! zimno, lecz puka serce,
Że z dumką w insze odlecim kraje! ]1

Sorrow
Language:
English
My heart is heavy, my eyes full of sorrow,
Darkness creeps over me.
I can no longer sing of tomorrow,
For I am dumb with grief and weeping.
[ All that I long for is faded and gone.
I wander here in anguish, lonely and sad.
The sun has gone from my heaven.
And I must languish here in this loveless place. ]1
Oh, could I love again I'd sing with gladness.
Here, far from home, I long to dream.
I want what I have not - to love;
And there is no one to love, nor to sing to.
[ Sometimes I look to heaven, imploring,
And the howling storm hears my grief.
The rain is cold, and its roar is loud.
"Sing," cries my heart, "for we shall soon be leaving." ]1
