Lyrics and translation Anna Maria Jopek - Dla ciebie jestem sobą

Dla ciebie jestem sobą

Los jak wszystkim da³ mi tylko jedn¹ postaæ
I nie nazbyt ni¹ ucieszy³ mnie,
Ale zawsze potrafi³am inn¹ zostaæ
Gdy wchodzi³a du¿a stawka w grê.
Dziœ posiadam ró¿nych twarzy ca³y rejestr,
W której lepiej ni¿ we w³asnej mi.
O jak dobrze umieæ byæ tym kim siê nie jest.
Ja umia³am nim przyszed³eœ ty.
Dla ciebie jestem sob¹ i choæ to tak ma³o jest.
Nie potrafiê byæ przed tob¹ nikim wiêcej.
Sztuczny wdziêk odbierasz s³owom,
Czynisz szczerym ka¿dy gest, i znów jestem
T¹ tysiêczn¹ wœród tysiêcy.
Tak mi z sob¹ nie do twarzy, tak bym chcia³a siebie kryæ,
Ale kiedy na mnie patrzysz nie potrafiê inn¹ byæ.
Dla ciebie jestem sob¹ i choæ to tak ma³o jest.
Nie potrafiê byæ przed tob¹ nikim wiêcej.
Dostosowaæ sposób gry do nowych regu³,
W efektownym fa³szu ukryæ siê.
Potrafi³abym to zrobiæ dla innego, a dla ciebie nie.
Ju¿ nie umiem swojej prawdy min¹æ granic
I to chyba jest nie dobry znak,
¯e przed innym nie odkry³abym jej za nic, a przed tob¹ tak.
Dla ciebie jestem sob¹ i choæ to tak ma³o jest.
Nie potrafiê byæ przed tob¹ nikim wiêcej.
Sztuczny wdziêk odbierasz s³owom,
Czynisz szczerym ka¿dy gest, i znów jestem
T¹ tysiêczn¹ wœród tysiêcy.
Tak mi z sob¹ nie do twarzy, tak bym chcia³a siebie kryæ,
Ale kiedy na mnie patrzysz nie potrafiê inn¹ byæ.
Dla ciebie jestem sob¹ i choæ to tak ma³o jest.
Nie potrafiê byæ przed tob¹ nikim wiêcej.

For you I am myself

Fate, as for all, has given me but one form
And has not overly gladdened me with it,
But I have always been able to become another
When the stakes were high.
Today I own a whole register of different faces,
In which I fare better than in my own.
Oh, how good it is to be able to be someone you are not.
I could do it before you came.
For you I am myself, and though it is so little.
I am unable to be anyone else before you.
You take away artificial charm from words,
You make every gesture sincere, and again I am
That one in a thousand.
I feel so uncomfortable with myself, I would like to hide myself,
But when you look at me I cannot be different.
For you I am myself, and though it is so little.
I am unable to be anyone else before you.
Adapt my style of play to new rules,
To hide myself in the striking falseness.
I could do it for another, but not for you.
I can no longer cross the boundaries of my truth
And that is probably not a good sign,
That I would not discover it for anyone else, but for you I do.
For you I am myself, and though it is so little.
I am unable to be anyone else before you.
You take away artificial charm from words,
You make every gesture sincere, and again I am
That one in a thousand.
I feel so uncomfortable with myself, I would like to hide myself,
But when you look at me I cannot be different.
For you I am myself, and though it is so little.
I am unable to be anyone else before you.
