Adam Mickiewicz (1798 - 1855)
Tylem wytrwał, tyle wycierpiałem
Language: Polish (Polski)
Available translation(s): ENG
Tylem wytrwał, tyle wycierpiałem,
Chyba śmiercią bole się ukoją;
Jeślim płochym obraził zapałem,
Tę obrazę krwią okupię moją.
Za coś dla mnie tyle ulubiona?
Za com z twoim spotkał się wejrzeniem?
Jednąm wybrał z tylu dziewcząt grona,
I ta cudzym przykuta pierścieniem!
Ach, jeśli ty Getego znasz w oryginale,
Gdyby przy tym jej głosek i dźwięk fortepianu!
Ale cóż? ty o boskiej tylko myślisz chwale,
Oddany twego tylko powinnościom stanu.
I. Paderewski sets stanzas 1-2
S. Moniuszko sets stanzas 1-2

So much have I endured, so much have I suffered
Language: English  after the Polish (Polski)
So much have I endured, so much have I suffered,
Perhaps with death my pains will be eased.
If I have offended zeal with dreadfulness,
This insult I will pay with my blood.
Why are you so beloved to me?
What I would give to meet your gaze.
I chose one from among so many girls
And by her ring she belongs to another!
