Polały się łzy me czyste, rzęsiste
Language: Polish (Polski) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Polały się łzy me czyste, rzęsiste
Na me dzieciństwo sielskie, anielskie,
Na moją młodość górną i durną,
Na mój wiek męski, wiek klęski;
Polały się łzy me czyste, rzęsiste...

Лились мои слёзы росистые, чистые
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the Polish (Polski) 
Лились мои слёзы росистые, чистые 
О детстве далеком игривом, счастливом, 
Изменчивой юности бранной, туманной 
Озрелости годах унылых, постылых 
Дились мои слёзы росистые, чистые.

Confirmed with Изабелла Гриневская, Стихотворения, С.-Петербург, Типо-Литография В. М. Вольфа, Разъезжая 15, 1904, page 156. Note: the archaic characters 'ѣ' and 'i' have been modernized to 'е' and 'и' respectively, and the hard signs 'ъ' at the end of words have been removed, following the spelling reform of 1917-1918.
