Gdzie lubi
Language: Polish (Polski)
Strumyk lubi wdolinie, Sarna lubi w gęstwinie, Ptaszek lubi pod strzechą, Lecz dziewczyna, dziewczyna! Z uciechą lubi gdzie niebieskie oko, Lubi gdzie i czarne oko, Lubi gdzie wesołe pieśni, Lubi gdzie i smutne pieśni. Sama nie wie gdzie lubi, Wszędzie, wszędzie serce zgubi, Sama nie wie gdzie lubi, Wszędzie, wszędzie serce zgubi.

Was ein junges Mädchen liebt
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Polish (Polski)
Bächlein liebt das Blumental, Rehlein liebet die Haine, Vöglein liebet den Himmelssaal, doch du, was liebst du, Kleine? Liebst der Männeraugen dunkle Sterne, Tanz und Lieder hast du gerne, ob sie Schmerz und Freude tönen, ob sie bergen heimlich Sehnen. So bald traurig, bald heiter wie ein Schmetterling flatterst du weiter, so bald traurig, bald heiter wie ein Schmetterling flatterst du weiter.
