by Adam Mickiewicz (1798 - 1855)

Idę ja Niemnem, jak Niemen długi
Language: Polish (Polski) 
Idę ja Niemnem, jak Niemen długi,
Od wioseczki do wioseczki,
Z borku do borku, z smugów na smugi,
Śpiewając moje piosneczki.

Wszyscy się zbiegli, wszyscy słuchali,
Ale nikt mię nie rozumie!
Ja łzy ocieram, westchnienia tłumię,
I idę daléj a daléj.

Kto mię zrozumie, ten się użali,
I w białe uderzy dłonie;
Uroni łezkę, i ja uronię,
Ale już nie pójdę daléj.
