“波兰对于全世界来说,都是情人的土壤:
但从那里他将带回他的新娘。
The bright Pole I brought home from a raid:
There he amber thick-strown, vestments diamond-sown,
That dog&039;s breed, the Knights of the Cross;
五十年过去了,我的新娘早已逝去,
Where goes Skirgiell, the third son shall ride;
圆盾和剑仅是他作战的奖赏,
And brocades al a marvellous gloss,
我带回家的只有一次突袭中雪亮的矛尖:
会听到我的告诫:
Only buckler and sword will he get as reward,
所有的少女像小猫一般玩闹,
三儿子Skirgiell策
扬鞭,
践踏着十字军骑士,那狗一般卑贱的种群,
There are sables&039; black tails there are silvery veils,
One shall follow &039;neath Olgierd&039;s device:
"For &039;tis Poland the world over that&039;s the land lor a lover:
在涅曼河岸边那贫瘠、被剥夺的土地上
他布满琥珀和钻石的
甲,
All the maids are like kittens at play;
"By Lake Ilmen&039;s broad shores where fair Novgorod lowers
一个人跟随在Olgierd
鞍之下:
Faces whiter than milk, lashes soft as black silk,
黑貂尾的披风,银白的面纱,
“在美丽的诺夫哥罗德低地,伊尔门湖宽广的岸边
二儿子Kiejstut率领着大
队,
她们的瞳仁――如同星光版闪耀!
"With Kiejstut&039;s hordes ample the next son shall trample
There are coins shining brightly like ice,
上的钱币像坚冰闪闪发光,
But from there he shall bring him his bride.
Ye are three and three roads ye shall ride you.
"In the barren, stripped land beyond Niemen&039;s wide strand
你们三兄弟将沿着三条
路勇往直前。
And yet still when I stand
比牛
还要洁白的面颊,如黑丝绸般柔
的睫
,
织锦花纹辉煌锃亮。
Fifty years are now sped and my bride is long dead,
And their eyes - like the star-shine are they!
