1. POLONEZ Dokąd jedziesz Jasiu? Na wojenkę Kasiu! Na wojenkę, na daleką, Ta-ra-ta, ta-ra-ta, ta-ra-ta! Weź mnie Jasiu z sobą, Rada pójdę z tobą. Ta-ra-ta, ta-ra-ta, ta-ra-ta.	1. POLONAISE Johnny, where are you riding? To join the army, Jeannie! I'm off to war far away. Ta-ra-ta, ta-ra-ta, ta-ra-ta! Let me, Johnny, go with you, Happily I'll stay with you. Ta-ra-ta, ta-ra-ta, ta-ra-ta!

3. KRAKOWIAK Matko, matko, matisiu moja! Wydajcież mnie wczas do ludzi, Niechże mi się świat nie nudzi, Matusiu moja, matusiu moja! Córko, córko, córusiu moja! Jesteś ty mi jak jagoda, Jeszcze cię do ludzi szkoda, Córusiu moja, córusiu moja! Matko, matko, matusiu moja! Chociażci ja jak jagoda, Ale by ja chłopca rada, Matusiu moja, matusiu moja, Matko, matusiu, ma!	3. CRACOVIENNE Mother, mother, O my dear mother! Marry me to some young darling, Don't let all my life be boring, O my dear mother, my dear mother! Daughter, daughter, O my dear daughter! You are mine own very sweet berry, It's not time for you to marry, O my dear daughter, my dear daughter. Mother, mother, O my dear mother! Though this berry is all your joy, I still want to meet a boy, O my dear mother, My dear mother, ma!
