Błądzisz luba po ustroni

Translation by Józef Komierowski (1813 - 1861)

Błądzisz luba po ustroni

Language: Polish (Polski) after the English

Błądzisz luba po ustroni, 
A twój wiernek wciąż cię goni; 
Stań i słuchaj, wszakże on, 
Nuci głośny, cichy ton. 
Już nie pląsaj miłe dziecie; 
W szak ci każdy powie przecie, 
Że ustaje gończy skok, 
Gdzie miłosny czeka zrok.

Coć z miłości gdzieś zdaleka,
I z ochoty co śmiech zwleka; 
Taką,'rozkosz za nic miej, 
Pókiś w szale, to się śmiej.
Dla nas w dali puste dzieje, 
Młodość jak szata wietrzeje; 
Więc nie zwlekaj, do mnie dąż, 
Całuj żywo, całuj wciąż.
