Precz z moich oczu

(Sung text for setting by F. Chopin)

See original

Language: Polish (Polski)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Precz z moich oczu! Posłucham od razu!
Precz z mego serca! I serce posłucha.
Precz z mej pamięci! Nie! Tego rozkazu
Moja i twoja pamięć nie posłucha.

Jak cień tym dłuższy gdy padnie z daleka,
Tym szerzej koło żałobne roztoczy, 
Tak moja postać, im dalej ucieka,
Tym grubszym kirem twą pamięć pomroczy.

Na każdym miejscu i o każdej dobie,
Gdziem z tobą płakał, gdziem się z tobą bawił,
Wszędzie i zawsze będ` ja przy tobie,
Bom wszędzie cząstkę mej duszy zostawił.

Hors de ma vue

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Chopin)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the Polish (Polski)

Hors de ma vue ! J'obéis tout de suite !
Hors de mon cœur ! De tout mon cœur j'obéis.
Hors de ma mémoire ! Non ! Cet ordre,
Ni ma mémoire ni la tienne ne l'écouteront.

De la même façon qu'une ombre projetée de loin est plus longue
Et étend un cercle plus large et plus sombre
Ainsi ma personne, plus je m'éloigne,
Déposera un plus épais linceul sur ton souvenir.

Dans chaque lieu et à chaque époque,
Où je pleurais avec toi, où je jouais avec toi,
Partout et toujours, je serai à côté de toi,
Car partout j'ai laissé une partie de mon âme.
