Święta Krystyna

Language: Polish

Męczenicą, biedna święta Krystynka,
to była maleńka dziewczynka.
Tak nam jej szkoda,
że taka młoda!
Ojciec jej nic a nic nie żałował,
nawet przed śmiercią jej nie pocałował
a matki, choć taka mała, wcale nie miała.

Saint Christina

Language: English

 Poor martyr Saint Christina 
 she was a little maid. 
 We are so sorry 
 she died so young!
 Father had no pity for her at all, 
 not even a kiss before she died. 
 She did not know her mother, and she so young.
