Translation Singable translation by Jan Śliwiński (1884 - 1950)

Uczta
Language: Polish (Polski) 
Na mą cześć, w szkarłatów przepychu,
gwarna, królewska wreuczta.
Lecz mi ten jasny pałac mrocznym jest więzieniem,
bo oto złote słońce z różanych wstaje zórz,
a w dali srebrzysta dzwoni pieśń, przy dźwiękach fletni,
miły mój, miły mój, pląsa radośnie,
wśród kwietnych łąk!

Das Fest
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Polish (Polski) 
Mir zu Ehren prunkend in Purpur,
königlich lärmend tobt das Fest.
Aber die hellen Säle sind mir ein dunkles Gefängnis,
denn eben steigt die Sonne herauf so rosig rot,
und fernher so silbern klingt das Lied, zum Klang der Flöte.
Der Liebste mein, der Liebste mein, tanzet so freudig
im Wiesengrün!
