Dwojaki koniec
Language:
Polish
Rok się kochali, a wiek się nie widzieli,
Zbolały serca, oboje na pościeli.
Leży dziewczyna wkomnacie swej na łożu,
A kozak leży w dąbrowie na rozdrożu!
O! nad dziewczyną rodziny całej płacze,
A nad kozakiem, och! siwy orzeł kracze.
Oboje biedni, wnętrz ności ogień pali!
Cierpieli srodze, cierpieli i skonali.
O! nad dziewczyną po siole dzwony biją,
A nad kozakiem po lesie wilki wyją.
Kości dziewczyny grób zamkna'ł poświęcony,
Kości kozaka bieleją na wsze strony.

The twofold end
Language:
English
For a year they loved, for eternity they parted.
Now, at death, they lie broken-hearted.
She lies on her couch in her little chamber;
He at the crossroads under the oak-leaves' murmur.
Around her still form her loved ones stand grieving;
Over his outstretched limbs a raven circles.
Unhappy lovers! In them the flame fiercely burned;
Pain was theirs till death came in mercy.
Now for her passing the village bell is tolling;
Over the soldier's body only the wolves howl.
Under the soft turf her bones are laid to rest;
His whiten in the cruel light.
