Słowik
Language: Polish (Polski)
Zda mi się nieraz, że Bóg się pomylił, miast serca zamknął w piersiach mych słowika. Co milczy we dnie, a gdy noc nastanie, miłosną w giezdne niebo bije peśnią.

Die Nachtigall
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Polish (Polski)
Manchmal bedünkt mich, daß Gott sich wohl irrte, kein Herz mir schenkte sondern eine Nachtigall. Die schweigt am Tage, doch wenn die Nacht kommt, so schlägt ihr Liebeschluchzen zu den Sternen.
