Dwojaki koniec

Language: Polish (Polski)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Rok się kochali, a wiek się nie widzieli,
Zbolały serca, oboje na pościeli.
Leży dziewczyna w komnacie 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.

Double fin

Language: French (Français) after the Polish (Polski)

Ils se sont aimés pendant un an,ils peuvent plus se voir,
Leurs cœurs souffrent, tous les deux allongés.
La fille gît sur son lit dans sa chambre,
Mais le cosaque est à un carrefour dans un bois de chênes.

Oh ! toute la famille pleure la fille,
Mais au-dessus du cosaque, oh ! un aigle gris tourne.
Pauvres créatures, le feu brûle leurs entrailles !
Ils ont souffert beaucoup, ils ont souffert et sont morts.

Oh ! pour la fille les cloches sonnent dans le village,
Mais au-dessus du cosaque les loups hurlent dans la forêt.
Les os de la fille sont déposés dans une tombe consacrée,
Les os du cosaque sont dispersés aux quatre vents.
