Piosenka litewska
Language: Polish (Polski)  after the Lithuanian (Lietuvių kalba) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Bardzo raniuchno wschodziło słoneczko,
Mama przy szklannym okienku siedziała,
"Skąd że to", pyta, "powracasz córeczko?
Gdzieś twój wianeczek na głowie zmaczała?"
"Kto tak raniuchno musi wodę nosić,
Nie dziw, że może swój wianeczek zrosić."
"Ej, zmyślasz, dziecię! Ej, zmyślasz, dziecię!
Tyś zapewne, tyś zapewne w pole,
Z twoim młodzianem gawędzić pobiegła."
"Prawda, prawda, Matusiu, prawdę wyznać wolę,
Mojegom w polu młodziana spostrzegła,
Kilka chwil tylko zeszło na rozmowie,
Tym czasem wianek zrosił się na głowie."

Lithauisches Lied
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Polish (Polski) 
Schön war der Morgen
und hell schien die Sonne,
fröhlich war ich auf die Wiese gegangen,
Mütterlein sass schon am Fenster und fragte:
"Dein Haar ist feucht, was hast du angefangen ?"

ich ward ängstlich,
ach so ängstlich,
wusste, wusste nichts zu sagen,
"feucht ward mein Haar, 
da Wasser ich getragen."
"Das ist nicht die Wahrheit,
das ist nicht die Wahrheit,
bist gegangen in des Frührot's Stunden,
hast dort im Feld den Geliebten gefunden."

"Ach ja, ach ja liebe Mutter, 
will dir's eingestehen,
er wollt' bei Tages Anbruch 
gern mich sehen;
hielt mich auf  so lange,
sprach von Lieb' und Sehnen,
und dabei, und dabei wurden 
feucht mir Haar und Wangen,
feucht von seinen Tränen.
