Zarżyj ze kuniu
Language: Polish (Polski)
Zarżyj ze kuniu, zarzyjze wrony, Przez te pole lecuncy, Niech cie usłysy moja dziwcyna, W okanecku stojuncy. Kuniki rzały, siecki ni niały, Przy tym zdunkoskim złobzie, A chto sie spoździoł, moja dziwcyno, W tym Zdunecku o tobzie. Hej z góry, z góry, mój kuniu wrony, Przebziroj nózeckani, Do mej dziwcyny, do mej jedyny, Z modryni oceckani. Oj nie zol ci ni tych złotych cugli, Com jo je tak rozpuściuł, Tyło ni cie zol, moja dziwcyno, Zem cie tak marnie opuściuł.

Va, mon cheval
Language: French (Français) after the Polish (Polski)
Va, mon cheval, va donc, ami fidèle, cours d'un pied rapide et lèger, qu'elle t'etende à sa fenêtre, ma douce aimée... Mais le cheval a faim dans ton table, ta chaumière est basse, tu es si pauvre, ô belle fille, belle aux lèvres fières. Hé, sois rapide, mon cheval fidèle, cours plein d'allégresse, car tu me portes vers ma belle, la fille aux blondes tresses. Mais mon cheval, sous sa riche parure, est triste, et je dèplore le jour, où je t'ai quittée, ma douce belle, j'ai trahi mon amour, oui, j'ai trahi mon amour, mon amour, ma belle.
