Our translations: CAT
Gdy ostatnia róża zwiędła Rzekłam chłop cu idź! Zerwała się złota nić Którą miłość przędła. Poskoczyłam jak najprędzej Swiéżą nitkȩ wziąść, Chciałam złotą nit ką prząść Lecz zabrakło przȩdzy. Zakwi tnęły róze znowu Nić się nie chce snuć Próżno wołam: luby wróć! On nie wierzy słowu.

The days of roses are vanished
Language: English after the Polish (Polski)
Days of roses, ye are vanished. Go, love, thou art free; The gold thread love wove for me In the past, 'tis banished. And I left him, on I hurried, Sought fresh gold to spin; Yet no happiness I win, With my past 'tis buried. Roses bloom as fair as ever, But my joy is o'er; Come again, love, I implore. Ah! he cometh never!
