Our translations: CAT
Siwy koniu, siwy koniu! Coś tak zadumany? Nie wiesz drogi, nie wiesz drogi Do mej ukochanej? Moja miła nas rzuciła, Nie wyrzekłszy słowa; Jak nie znajdziem do niej drogi Zginąć nam gotowa. Siwy koniu, siwy koniu, Ciężko tobie będzie: Przegonimy wiatr, co wieje, Nie spoczniemy w pędzie. Siwy koniu, siwy koniu, Ciężej sercu memu. Bo straciło już nadzieję -- Samo nie wie czemu!

Fidel corser
Language: Catalan (Català) after the Polish (Polski)
Fidel corser, tan fidel, avui hem de rumiar, quins camins, quins camins porten a la meva estimada! Ai! Ella ens deixà amb menyspreu, emportant-se el seu cor; si tu no trobes el bon camí, ella se'ns escaparà. Ai! Fidel corser meu, tan fidel, la teva càrrega és feixuga, has d'ésser més veloç que el vent, i no pots aturar-te ni descansar. Fidel corser, fidel corser, molt pitjor és la pena que, després del darrer bri d'esperança, em rosega el cor.
