by Stefan Witwicki (1801 - 1847)
Translation Singable translation by Georg Friedrich Reiß (1823 - 1884)

Gdzie lubi
Language: Polish (Polski) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
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) 
Liebt der Bach doch den Blumenrain, 
freut sich das Wild seiner Hallen,
liebt doch der Vogel den Sonnenschein 
und dir, was kann dir gefallen?

Schweift dein Sinn in ungemess'nen Fernen, 
in den Wolken, über Sternen?
Bald magst du die Freude preisen, 
bald vernehm' ich Klageweisen!

Mägdlein, ich kann's nicht ergründen, 
doch ich weis, es wird sich schon finden.
Mägdlein, ich kann's nicht ergründen, 
doch ich weis, es wird sich schon finden.
