Mère, me diras‑tu ?
Language: French (Français) after the Polish (Polski)
Mère, me diras-tu, quel est l'inconnu, qui prendra ta fille bienaimée et sa fraîche beauté ? Car sa blonde beauté comme un ciel d'été, les yeux bleus et ses joues vermeilles comme une rose des prés. La rose en été ouvre ses douces fleurs, et l'automne d'une vie sans amour flétrit la rose de mon cœur. Celui que veut mon cœur est sourd à son appel, oh, maudit soit par le juste ciel, lui, la cause de mes pleurs.
