by Hans Bethge (1876 - 1946)
Translation by Stanisław Barącz (1864 - 1936)

Ich Unglückseliger!
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Persian (Farsi) 
Our translations:  CAT
Ich Unglückseliger!
Wer gibt mir Nachricht von meiner Liebsten?
Zwar der Ostwind kam und raunte hastig Botschaft mir ins Ohr,
doch raunte er so stammelnd und verwirrt,
daß ich ihn nicht verstand!
Ich weiß es wohl, ich weiß es wohl,
Er selber ist der Ärmste,
ganz betrunken und geisteswirr
durch meiner Liebsten Schönheit,
meiner Liebsten Schönheit.

O! Nieszczęsnemu mnie!
Language: Polish (Polski)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
O! Nieszczęsnemu mnie! 
Któż wieść przyniesie od mojej lubej? 
Wprawdzie wschodni wiatr na ucho od niej coś mi zlecić chciał
lecz szepcac jąkał się i mylił tak,
żem nie mogł pojąć nic! 
To jedno wiem, to jedno wiem,
On musiał się ten nędzarz
dać upoić i olśnić tak
kochanki mej pięknością,
lubej mej pięknością.
