[2] Modern English translation:
Merry it is while summer lasts
With birds’s song.
But now nears the wind’s blast
And weather strong.
Oh, oh! How this night is long!
And I with very much wrong
Sorrow and mourn and fast.
[3] Traduzione italiana:
C’è allegria quando perdura l’estate
Col canto degli uccelli,
Ma ora s’addensano vento e tempesta
E il tempo cattivo.
Com’è lunga questa notte!
Ed io, qual grande ingiustizia,
Non ho che pena, tristezza e penuria.
[4] Deutsche Übersetzung:
Heiter ist es solang der Sommer
währt mit der Vögel Gesang.
Doch nun naht des Windes Stürmen
und rauhes Wetter.
Ei, ei,was ist diese Nacht lang.
Und ich, mit viel Unrecht,
sorge und klage und darbe.
[5] Polskie tłumaczenie:
Przyjemnie jest gdy lato trwa
z ptasią pieśnią
Ale już nadchodzą wietrzne podmuchy
i burzowa pogoda.
Hej, hej, ależ długa jest ta noc.
A ja, w wielkiej niesprawiedliwości
smucę się, i lamentuję, i poszczę.
