English Translation of Polish Text:
Autumn is Here (Regret)
Autumn mists flow, the aster bush has withered,
and a strange sadness blows from the grey fields.
The joyous birds have become silent in the fields and meadows.
Gone is the vase of roses; finished are the golden dawnings.
An unspeakable pain grips my soul.
And I remember that in spring it used to be so joyful
when the power of the nightingales' song
hummed through the enchanted night.

No longer can the echo of those dawnings be concealed
Like a colorless picture reflecting the dark night in my soul
Where all dreams are past and forever lost.
And my heart is broken, longing for the past.
All has vanished, all sweet dreams have perished!
My hope is lost, my days are empty.
Our past memories cannot bring back those moments.
