Wysły rybki, wysły
Language: Polish (Polski)
Wysły rybki, wysły z jeziora do Zisły, Chtóz je bandzie łoziuł, kiedy Jasiul pysny. Wysły rybki, wysły, tyło okuń został, Proś Boga, dziwcyno, zebym ci sie dostał. Prosiłam jo Boga i śwanty Barbary, Zeby mój Jasiulek nie stawał do niary. Prosiłam, prosiłam, ni mogłam uprosić, Musi mój Jasiulek sabelecke nosić.

Les poissons se jouent
Language: French (Français) after the Polish (Polski)
Les poissons s'éjouent dans les eaux si claires. Qui donc va les prendre au filet de chanvre ? Jeannot aux mains fières ! Les poissons s'éjouent les mailles s'emmêlent ! Au filet de chanvre de tes tresses longues tu m'as pris, ma belle ! J'ai prié la Vierge à la sainte Messe, j'ai prié la Vierge pour celui que j'aime, oh qu'on me le laisse. Sur la grande place mon Jean s'enrôle, il n'a plus sa nasse, mais l'arme à l'épaule.
