Pierścień
Language:
Polish
Smutno niańki ci śpiewały,
A ja już kochałem,
A na lewy palecmały
Srebrny pierścień dałem.
Pobrali dziewczęta drudzy,
Ja wiernie kochałem,
Przyszedł młody chłopiec cudzy,
Choć ja pierścień dałem.
Muzykantów zaproszono,
Na godach śpiewałem!
Innego zostałaś żoną,
Ja zawsze kochałem.
Dziś dziewczęta mnie wyśmiały,
Gorzko zapłakałem:
Próżnom wierny był i stały,
Próżno pierścień dałem.

The ring
Language:
English
Again you stand before me
Clothed in childlike pride, my love,
As when in boyhood
I asked you to be my bride,
Then I, your youthful lover,
Gave you a tiny ring.
And you promised me
To wear it until death.
But now I am far away,
Wishing I was near you.
And now you have married another man,
Forgetting me and my ring.
But you will never be
Separated from my love.
You, and that dear ring,
Will be cherished in my thoughts forever.
