Paroles et traduction Maryla Rodowicz - Czlowiek, czlowiek

Czlowiek, czlowiek

Tyle mial nam dac, ze az braklo tchu
Nasz swiat, nasz brat, nasz król
A za oknem szadz, popluczyny snu
I strach i krach, i ból

Gdy nadzieje w pyl
Jak skrzydelko cmy starte
Czy wystarczy sil
By odegnac lzy zartem.

Czlowiek, czlowiek
To brzmi dumnie gdy w trumnie
Lecz nim minie brzmi w trzcinie
Czlowiek - numer buta, marszruta, imie

Lwem nie bedziesz
Chocbys z diablem
Byl w zmowie wolny
Ale klatke masz w sobie
W sercu, w duszy, w glowie
I slowie czlowiek

Dzieci poszly precz, starzy ida w piach
I bunt i czas sie bac
Zycie ladna rzecz, a najbardziej w snach
Wiec grunt to miec gdzie spac

Mysli naszych kruk
Przy niebieskim siadl tronie,
Jesli nie daj Bóg
Boga nie ma tam to koniec

Czlowiek, czlowiek
To brzmi dumnie gdy w trumnie
Lecz nim minie brzmi w trzcinie
Czlowiek - numer buta, marszruta, imie

Lwem nie bedziesz
Chocbys z diablem
Byl w zmowie wolny
Ale klatke masz w sobie
W sercu, w duszy, w glowie
I slowie czlowiek

Man, Man

He had so much to give us, it left us breathless
Our world, our brother, our king
And outside the window, frost, the dregs of sleep
And fear, and crash, and pain

When hopes turn to dust
Like a moth's wing worn away
Will we have enough strength
To ward off tears with a jest?

Man, man
It sounds so proud in a coffin
But before it passes, it sounds in the reeds
Man - a shoe number, a route, a name

You will not be a lion
Even if you were in league with the devil
Free and alone
But you have a cage within you
In your heart, in your soul, in your head
And in the word man

Children are gone, old people are dying
And rebellion and time to be afraid
Life is a beautiful thing, especially in dreams
So the main thing is to have a place to sleep

A raven of our thoughts
Sat down on the blue throne,
If not God forbid
God is not there, it's the end

Man, Man
It sounds so proud in a coffin
But before it passes, it sounds in the reeds
Man - a shoe number, a route, a name

You will not be a lion
Even if you were in league with the devil
Free and alone
But you have a cage within you
In your heart, in your soul, in your head
And in the word man
