Ballada o dwóch siostrach [English translation]

There were two sisters: night and death

The latter taller than the former

Night was beautiful like a dream and death

Death was the even fairer one

Night was beautiful like a dream and death

Death was the even fairer one

Hey noony noony! Hay noony nah!

Death was the even fairer one

Both sisters worked as maids

In an inn by a little river

A traveller has arrived and says: Hey!

Wait on me, my fair ladies

Hey noony noony! Hay noony nah!

Wait on me, my fair ladies

So runs night gently up to him

You know, the little one, the wiser one

She pours, the guest looks in the glass:

Ah, what a worthy cordial, he says

Hey noony noony! Hay noony nah!

Ah, what a worthy cordial, he says

But here is death running up

With an even gentler pace

The traveller – smack! The goblet – twang!

For this was the worthier one

Hey noony noony! Hay noony nah!

For this was the worthier one

The traveller drained the cup

And felt no further need to talk

Seeing how the other sister wears

Way lovelier earrings

Hey noony noony! Hay noony nah!

Way lovelier earrings

Such a ballad on a rainy day

In Three Crowns Tavern

Was sang to me – there in Dublin once

By John Burton – a John above other Johns

Hey noony noony! Hay noony nah!

By John Burton – a John above other Johns

Dublin is a ballads' fair

You'll catch more than one there

Thus what I heard there once

I'm repeating now to Cracow

Hey noony noony! Hay noony nah!

I'm repeating now to Cracow
