[My son to life.] Lezy on tam w grobie [He lies in the grave] a jo nie wiem kandy, [I know not where] choc sie opytuja [Though I ask people] miedzy ludzmi wsandy. [Everywhere] Moze nieborocek [Perhaps the poor boy] lezy kaj w dolecku, [Lies in a rough trench] a móglby se Iygac [Instead of lying, as he might,] na swoim przypiecku. [In a warm bed.] Ej, cwierkejcie mu tam, [Sing for him,] wy ptosecki boze, [Little song-birds of God,] kiedy mamulicka [For his mother ] znaleze go nie moze. [Cannot find him.] A ty, boze kwiecie, [And God's little flowers,] kwitnijze w okolo, [May you bloom all around ] niech sie synockowi [So that my son ] choc lezy wesolo. [May sleep happy.]
