I sah mal a Blimle, das war so geknickt
Language: Niederdeutsch
[I sah mal a Blimle]1, das war so geknickt, Und hat scho ganz trauri sei Köpfte genickt, Doch habens de Blätter so lang noch geschmuckt, Bis de Sonn war unter e Himmel geruckt. I sah mal e Falter, der lebte no Und war doch zerstoche gar grausam scho, Es haben de Fligle gezittert, gezuckt, Bis de Sonn war unter e Himmel geruckt. I sah mal a Fisch, der war nit tot Und war doch zerschnitte und bluti roth, Es haben de Stickte gelebt und gezuckt, Bis de Sonn war unter e Himmel geruckt. Mei Schatz is mer untreu. -- A Jedes sind Ruh: Der Fisch und der Falter, das Blimle dazu; Mei Sonn is scho unter, ezwei is mei Herz, Und kann doch nit sterbe bei alle dem Schmerz.

Razbitoe serdce
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Niederdeutsch
Ja videl berëzku, slomilas' ona, verchuškoj k zemle naklonilas' ona; no list'ja ne blekli na tonkich vetvjach, poka ne sprjatalos' solnce v gorach. JA videl, kak lan' strelok podstrelil, - životnoe palo v krovi i bez sil, i malo so smert'ju borot'sja moglo, i žit' perestalo, kak solnce zašlo. JA babočku videl s razbitym krylom, bednjažka pod solnečnym grelas' lučom, starajas' i slabost' i smert' prevozmoč', poka ne nastala cholodnaja noč'. Ach, mne izmenila podružka moja - i solnce pomerklo davno dlja menja; no smert' i pokoj ja naprasno zovu i s serdcem razbitym živu da živu.
