Odeszłaś w pustynie
Language: Polish (Polski)
O o olio o o olio! Odeszłaś w pustynię zachodnią! O o olio! O tej godzinie już twe białe ciało niezna kropelek srebrnych wód. Wsuchych piaskach swe ciało w zachodniej nurzasz pustyni i serce moje piasek rozląki miast wody słodkiej kochania pije! O olio! o o olio.

Vorbei, o vorüber für ewig!
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Polish (Polski)
O o olio o o olio! Vorbei, o vorüber für ewig! O o olio! Zu dieser Stunde hat dein keuscher Leib gebebt unter dem Schmeichelkuß der Quelle. Und nun deckt dich der brennende Wüstensand unbarmherzig, mein Herz wird sterben, sterben vor Liebesgram und weint nach deinen Küssen, o Geliebte! O olio! o o olio.
