Konie [English translation]

Black horses, two black whirlwinds, they lift me up, they lift up

They don't want to drink water, don't ask me for aliment.

Am I running out of air

Or has the hell called me

That I am scudding, as if I had wings, while flushing out wolves?

Let live, o horses, let!

Let live through, o horses!

What is this eternal flight for, brothers?

What horses has the fate given me

as if somebody set fire inside them?

And I didn't live enough

nor singed enough!

O, to give water to the horses!

O, to sing the singing through and last!

Just a day, just a night

O, to stand on a whirlwind!

O, to give water to the horses,

O, to sing the singing through and last!

Just a day, just a night

O, to stand on a whirlwind!

It will happen that somewhere halfway any wind will finally sweep me away

And they will drag me on a sleigh and they will burn me out like a candle

Eh, you dog with a devil face

Do not rush my horses!

Give me a moment to dream

Add another one to wise up.

Let live, o horses, let

Let live through, o horses!

What is this eternal flight for, brothers?

What horses the fate has given me,

Both like evil beasts!

While one wants to live through

And one wants to sing through.

O, to give water to the horses!

O, to sing the singing through and last!

Just a day, just a night

O, to stand on a whirlwind!

O, to give water to the horses!

O, to sing the singing through and last!

Just a day, just a night

O, to stand on a whirlwind

O, to stand on a whirlwind...

I'm on time, thank God, who would dare be late in paradise?

Is it the angels that can already be heard singing for me joylessly?

Or maybe is it a ring ringing

half-laughing, half-weeping?

Is it me yelling and cursing

the team of mine, those two beasts?

Let live, o horses, let!

Let live through, o horses!

What is this eternal flight for, brothers?

What horses has the fate given me

as if somebody set fire inside them?

And I didn't live enough

nor singed enough!

O, to give water to the horses!

O, to sing the singing through and last!

Just a day, just a night

O, to stand on a whirlwind!

O, to give water to the horses,

O, to sing the singing through and last!

Just a day, just a night

O, to stand on a whirlwind!

O, to stand on a whirlwind!
