Tylem wytrwał, tyle wycierpiałem

Language: Polish (Polski)

Our translations: 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.

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!
