Hulanka
Language: Polish (Polski) 
Our translations:  FRE
Szynkareczko, szafareczko, bój się Boga, stój!
Tam się śmiejesz,
A tu lejesz miód na kaftan mój!

Nie daruję, wycałuję!
Jakie oczko, brew!
Nóżki małe, ząbki białe,
Hej! spali mnie krew!

Cóż tak bracie wciąż dumacie?
Bierz tam smutki czart!
Pełno nędzy
Ot, pij prędzej, świat ten diabła wart!

Piane nogi zbłądzą z drogi,
Cóż za wielki srom?
Krzykiem żony rozbudzony
Trafisz gdzie twój dom.

Pij, lub kijem się pobijem!
Biegnij dziewczę w czas,
By pogodzić, nie zaszkodzić,
Oblej miodem nas!

Bachanal
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Polish (Polski) 
Tolle Kleine, mit dem Weine 
geh' mir um gescheit!
Woran denkst du? Warum tränkst du 
mir das Sonntagskleid?

Das zu büßen, sollst du küssen, 
wie dein Auge sprüht!
Rote Lippen! Laßt mich nippen! 
Wie mein Blut erglüht!

Freund, was sinnst du? Kummer spinnst du! 
Was ward dir vergällt?
Lass das Denken uns ertränken! 
Was schert uns die Welt?

Unsre Pfade sind nicht gerade, 
machen nichts uns draus!
Weibchen schmäht wohl, stellt zur Red' wohl, 
führt mich doch nach Haus.

Laßt uns raufen, Hauf' und Haufen! 
Oder trinkt mit Macht!
Gerad' ins Glas mir füll' das Nass mir! 
Mädchen, gute Nacht!
