by Adam Mickiewicz (1798 - 1855)
Translation by Mikhailo Petrovych Starytsky (1840 - 1904)

Moja pieszczotka gdy w wesołej chwili
Language: Polish (Polski) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Moja pieszczotka gdy w wesołej chwili,
Pocznie szczebiotać i kwilić i gruchać :
Tak mile grucha, szczebioce i kwili,
Że nie chcąc słówka żadnego postradać,
Nie śmiem przerywać, nie śmiem odpowiadać,
I tylko chciałbym słuchać, słuchać, słuchać.

Lecz mowy żywość gdy oczki z apali,
I pocznie mocniej jagody różować,
Perłowe ząbki błysną śród korali :
Ach! wtenczas śmielej w oczęta poglądam,
Usta pomykam i słuchać nie żądam,
Tylko całować, całować, całować.

Милованка
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)  after the Polish (Polski) 
Моя милованко, як часом жартливо
Почнеш щебетати, співати,
Та так же воркочеш, щебечеш знадливо,
Що й слово не хтів би втеряти.
Одмовить, спинити не зважу я духа,
Усе б тільки слухав, та слухав!

Як жваві ж ті речі, очиці заграють,
І щічки зашаряться мило,
А зубки заблищуть, мов перли в коралях,
Тоді вже і слухать не сила:
Очей не зведу я і маю жадати
Одне цілувати, одне цілувать!
