Zielone słowa
Language: Polish (Polski) 
A gdzie pod lasem podlasina,
tam gęsta wiklinaszeleścina.
Na prawo bór, na lewo trawy,
oj da i te szerokie, śpiewane morawy.
Iści woda, uści woda na murawie,
szumnistrumni dunajewo po niekławie.
Na prawo bór czarnolas dąbrowiany.
Na lewo ziel jasnoziel lści wodziany.
A po szepcinie wiją, a na murawie dzwionie,
a i tam rżą wesołote morawian'skie konie.
Hej!

Dans la forêt
Language: French (Français)  after the Polish (Polski) 
Ah, dans la forêt pleine d'ombre,
s'agite et pleure l'osier sombre.
Le bois est noir, les herbes hautes!
Ohé! Et sous les cieux bleus l'espace sans bornes.
L'eau murmure, l'eau chantonne, dans les herbes
les blanches fontaines dansent sur les roches.
Le bois est grand un sombre bois de chènes,
et à ses pieds coule l'eau verte et claire.
Ah, l'osier noir s'agite et dans les près resonne
le galop franc et gai des chevaux à tête fière.
Ah!
