by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
Translation by Walery Grzymałowski
So hab ich wirklich dich verloren
Language: German (Deutsch)
So hab ich wirklich dich verloren, Bist du, o [Schöne]1, mir entflohn? Noch [klingt]2 in den gewohnten Ohren Ein jedes Wort, ein jeder Ton. So wie des Wandrers Blick am Morgen Vergebens in die Lüfte dringt, [Wenn]3, in dem blauen Raum verborgen, Hoch über ihm die Lerche singt: So dringet ängstlich hin und wieder Durch Feld und [Busch und Wald]4 mein Blick; Dich rufen alle meine Lieder; O komm, Geliebte, mir zurück!

Do oddalonej
Language: Polish (Polski) after the German (Deutsch)
I tak straciłem już cię z oczu moich, Jużeś, o luba, znikła w inne strony; Ale w nawykłym uchu do słów twoich Brzmi jeszcze głos twój pieszczony. Tak jak na próżno, skoro błyśnie dzionek, W powietrzu śledzi podróżnego oko, Kiedy na nieba błękicie wysoko Śpiewa gdzieś nad nim skowronek, Tak próżno śledzę oczyma dokoła, Przez las, przez pola, od gaju do zdroja, Za tobą każda piosnka moja woła: Wróć mi się, kochanko moja!
