Moja pieszczotka gdy w wesołej chwili
Language: Polish (Polski)
Moja pieszczotka gdy w wesołej chwili, Pocznie szczebiotać i kwilić i gruchać : Tak mile grucha, szczebioce i kwili, Że nie chcąc słówka żadnego postradać, Nie śmiem przerywać, nie śmiem odpowiadać, I tylko chciałbym słuchać, słuchać, słuchać. Lecz mowy żywość gdy oczki z apali, I pocznie mocniej jagody różować, Perłowe ząbki błysną śród korali : Ach! wtenczas śmielej w oczęta poglądam, Usta pomykam i słuchać nie żądam, Tylko całować, całować, całować.

Meine Freuden
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Polish (Polski)
Girrt eine Taube mir vor meinem Stübchen, ebenso munter auch plaudert mein Liebchen. Ach, wie das lautet lieblich mich berauschend! Ich sitze mäuschenstill, lauschend und lauschend, wage die Schwätzerin nimmer zu stören: Ich will nur hören, hören, immer hören, ich will nur hören, hören, immer hören. Doch wenn beim Sprechen ihr die Augen strahlen, wenn ihre Wangen dann röter sich malen, durch rote Lippen ihr die Zähne blitzen, ach! wer bliebe, wer bliebe kühl dann, wer bliebe kühl dann und wer bliebe sitzen? Dann um ihr Lippenpaar bin ich beflissen, dann muss ich küssen, ja küssen, ja, küssen, ja, küssen.
