A pod borem siwe kunie
Language: Polish (Polski)
A pod borem siwe kunie, Chodźwa, Jasiul, chodźwa po nie. Nie pude jo, idź ty sama, Załoza jo kuniom siana. Oj nie bande jo wychodziła, By me niłość nie zdradziła. Nilość ładna, Ale zdradma, Nie bande jo wychodziła. By me niłość nie zdradziła.

L'heure avance
Language: French (Français) after the Polish (Polski)
L'heure avance, la nuit tombe, nos chevaux sont au bois sombre. Viens Jeannot, viens les prendre! Vas-y seule, va, ma belle, je t'attendrai, va sans crainte. Non, je ne veux pas aller seule, oh non, je n'irai pas seule, mon amour, mon amour, j'ai trop peur qu'il ne s'envole. Il est tendre mais frivole, non, je n'irai pas au bois seule, toute seule, pour qu'au soir mon bel amour, ah, ne s'envole.
