Original text and translations

English text 1. All ye whom Love or Fortune hath betrayed, All ye that dream of bliss, but live in grief, All ye whose hopes are ever more delay'd, All ye whose sighs or sickness wants relief: Lend ears and tears to me, most hapless man, That sings my sorrows like the dying swan. 2. Care that consumes the heart with inward pain, Pain that presents sad care in outward view, Both, tyrant-like, enforce me to complain, But still in vain: for none my plaints will rue. Tears, sighs and ceaseless cries alone I spend: My woe wants comfort, and my sorrow end.

Polish translation by Stanisław Jonczyk 1. Wy wszyscy, przez Miłość i Fortunę zdradzeni, Rozkoszy pragnący lecz żyjący w cierpieniu, Wy, których los już się nie odmieni, Wy wszyscy - pragnący już tylko ukojenia. Użyczcie łez mi - najżałośliwszemu z was, Co, jak łabędź mrący, wyśpiewuje swój żal. 2. Troska trawiąca serce boleśnie, I ból dobywający ją z duszy odmętów. One są twórcami żałosnej tej pieśni; Na próżno! Nikt nie pożałuje mojego lamentu. Płaczę, szlocham i łkam wciąż w samotności, Pragnąc końca cierpień mych i końca żałości.
