TRANSLATION OF THE POLISH TEXT:

Ah, come back! Ah, come back! My Doman! I won’t let you go into an underground battle ruled by a swarm of evil spirits! Return, ah, return, Bogna is calling you! No one is able to execute the father’s will! Oh, come back, ah, return! Bogna is calling you! I love you! And I am defending my treasure. Let someone else search for the tiara. I love the Baltic waters, the forests’ secret shade, the old temple of Svetovid, I love every day on which I saw you, Doman! Doman, my beloved! I love you! This love is my happiness! This love is my paradise! In the old legend of the sea, trembles the magic of this love.
