Chanson de la mort de Don Quichotte
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG LIT
Ne pleure pas Sancho, ne pleure pas mon bon 
Ton maître n'est pas mort, il n'est pas loin de toi
Il vit dans une île heureuse
Où tout est pur et sans mensonges
Dans l'île enfin trouvée où tu viendras un jour,
Dans l'île désirée, O mon ami Sancho !
Les livres sont brûlés et font un tas de cendres
Si tous les livres m'ont tué il suffit d'un
Il suffit d'un pour que je vive
Fantôme dans la vie, et réel dans la mort
Tel est l'étrange sort du pauvre Don Quichotte.

Neverki tu, Sančo, neverk drauguž, neverk.
Nemiręs aš esu. Aš netoli tavęs.
Saloj džiaugsmų gyvenu,
Kur tyruma ir nėra melo.
Šią salą atradau, ir tu atvyksi čia.
Sala ši trokštama, o, mylimas Sančo!
Sudegę knygos jau vien pelenais pavirto.
Jei ir pražudė jos mane,
Vienos gana, kad likčiau gyvas.
Gyvenime – dvasia, o tikras mirtyje.
Tokia keista dalia vargšelio Don Kichoto.
