Człowiek z dziurą zamiast krtani [English translation]

[Intro]

The intersection of avenues Jerezolimska and Marszałkowska

On the intersection of those two main streets of Poland's capital, was placed a signpost

The sign shows where are Helskinki, Copenhagen, Oslo. But where is Warsaw?

Postcard from Warsaw, summer 2k19. Cheers.

[Verse 1: Taco Hemingway]

I call a taxi to get to the other side of the bridge

The west side has been dead ever since Hocki1 is gone

Bastards yell at a dark skinned fellow to speak Polish

Then they scream at the DJ to not play Bedoes because they want old-school

He plays schafter and Blue Coals

He gets hit in the stomach, wakes up in a hospital in Solec

The police was supposed to keep guard here, but they'd rather give a young boy a ticket

For crossing on the red light at the East Station

And he doesn't even know what he'll tell his father

He wanted to be a child in August's sun

But that won't come back like Polish Dortmund

Bobby2 is staring from a billboard

Praising imported shampoos

During summer WWA3 stays away from sports

We cure hangovers from Tuesday to Friday

We usually stand in traffic

We're one step away from a record in traffics

This city breathes exhaust fumes and we will raise our children in this smog

[Verse 2: Taco Hemingway & Dawid Podsiadło]

Blonde highschool girls bathed in white4 again

Their skirts are more stingy than their teachers's salaries

Friends are strumming strings, friends's condoms are breaking

Fat stomachs and they want ladies like from a Pirelli calendar

[Verse 3: Taco Hemingway]

Today they dance near Wisła

They see stars like Michelin

All plans so foggy

They live in a fairytale like Disney

Weird ladies in MISBHV

A quicksave in life would be useful

Always pour me an even number of shots

I'm in fabric settings again

[Interlude: Taco Hemingway]

WWA, WWA, WWA, WWA

Summer 2k19, this is a postcard from WWA

Dear— [cough]

I feel— [cough]

(One, two, three!)

One more time

WWA, WWA, WWA, WWA

Summer 2k19, this is a postcard from WWA

Dear— [cough]

I feel— [cough]

[Verse 4: Taco Hemingway]

This is Poland's civil war

Rossmann under the red neon

Mural "Warsaw Uprising"

And next to it "Powerade. You fell? Get up!"5

I won't keep talking about it

Because Masłowska6 has already said everything

You will win in cards soon

You've had too many bad hands

You'd like to leave the city?

Remember when grandma drove you? (Where)

Somewhere at Masuria, Majka Jeżowska was singing nicely on a cassette

Now it's getting high, and coke, and food, and boxing, like Mirów Market

You come back home with a mandate

Afraid that your own mother wont recognize you

DJ from the first verse died from a concussion

His executioners only want to listen to true school

They pretend it's Medellín but they smuggle cigs from Modlin in Ryanair

They make weird moves like Hotline Bling again

Dude I don't have any more cigs so leave me some

[Verse 5: Taco Hemingway]

I see on the pack of cigarettes

Man with a hole instead of a larynx (You gotta die from something)

Society is poisoning with germs

Some look for sales and wander bazaars

Others look for a distraction when they chew calamari

When I stand at post office

Like a solider at the front line

Jan Paweł II is watching, no one in the country is scared (no one)

Like Jesus's fish, everyone is multitasking

A man jumps off the bridge because he wants to check if he can walk on water

He couldn't

[Outro]

Spending free time in city has a lot of advantages

We don't drive, so for example, we don't need to bother with PKP7

Yes, but someone could say that at Masuria and in the mountains the air is different

But some of the cars also went there for the holidays, so the city is less crowded and cleaner
