Our translations: FRE

Zaczaruj mnie w jeziora jasną głąb
I bądź mi słońcem igrającym z falą. 

Zaczaruj mnie w bijące z jaru źródło
I bądź usmiechem kwiatu dla mej toni. 

Zaczaruj mnie w zielony cierń gałązki
I bądź mi blaskiem purpurowym róźy. 

Zaczaruj mnie w ziarenko posród piasku
I bądź tym ptaszkiem co je tuż zdziobie!

Désirs

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

Par un charme, change-moi en un lac clair et profond
et toi en soleil jouant au-dessus des vagues.

Par un charme, change-moi en une source qui frappe la vallée
et toi en une fleur souriant au bruit.

Par un charme, change-moi en une verte épine sur un buisson
et toi en l'éclat d'une rose cramoisie.

Par un charme, change-moi en un graine dans un tas de sable
et toi en un oiseau qui vite la picore !
