Biały krag księzyca olbrzymi
Language: Polish (Polski)
Biały krag księzyca olbrzymi. Przybliż swoje lica siądź przy mnie. Cisza cisz przychodzi, bierze nas za ramię, las stary dobrodziej cicho kłamie. Czerwony płomien' daleko za rzeką, dziecko, za rzeką.

Des Mondes weiße Scheibe ist riesengroß
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Polish (Polski)
Des Mondes weiße Scheibe ist riesengroß. Liebste, sitz ganz nah bei mir, bei mir im Moos. Kommt die Stille sacht und wiegt uns in ihrem Schoß. Und der uralte Wald ist uns Freund. Ein Feuer rot loht ferne und weint, Liebste, und weint.
