from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Lento, cantabile semplice
Language: Polish (Polski) 
Our translations:  CAT FRE ITA
Kajze mi sie podzioł
mój synocek miły?
Pewnie go w powstaniu
złe wrogi zabiły.

Wy niedobrzy ludzie,
dlo Boga świętego
cemuście zabili
synocka mojego?

Zodnej jo podpory
juz nie byda miała,
choć bych moje
stare ocy wypłakała.

Choćby z mych łez gorkich
drugo Odra była,
jesce by synocka
mi nie ozywiła.

Lezy on tam w grobie,
a jo nie wiem kandy,
choc sie opytuja 
miedzy ludzmi wsandy.

Moze nieborocek
lezy kaj w dołecku.
a mógłby se lygać
na swoim przypiecku.

Ej,  ćwierkeycie mu tam,
wy ptosecki boze,
kiedy mamulicka
znalezć go nie moze.

A ty, boze kwiecie,
kwitnijze w około,
niech sie synockowi
choć lezy wesoło.
