Nowa Wieża Babel [English translation]

The world around us keeps getting smaller

The continents are at hands reach

Air planes like from children's tales

Above the heads, cutting* through the sky faster

The people are still wandering in a big, loud herd

From the mixed speech, one voice is heard

They built another, bigger Tower of Babel

Who remembers the fate of the first one?

The world is shrinking like a burst balloon

Man getting smaller fast along with it

Terrified of his small size

Getting lonelier much faster in this crowd

From here escapes unconscious the empty way

As if there was something around the corner

And those poems written for no one

And those canvases full of nostalgic stains

Tower of Babel

Beautiful, even though an inhuman land

Further and further away

Is this a trick, is it a mistake

Further and further away

It's more difficult to run away from here

Tower of Babel

Beautiful, even though inhuman land

Further and further away

Is this a trick, is it a mistake

Further and further away

It's more difficult to run away from here

From here escapes unconscious the empty way

As if there was something around the corner

And those poems written for no one

And those canvases full of nostalgic stains

Tower of Babel

Beautiful, even though an inhuman land

Further and further away

Is this a trick, is it a mistake

Further and further away

It's more difficult to run away from here

Tower of Babel

Beautiful, even though inhuman land

Further and further away

Is this a trick, is it a mistake

Further and further away

It's more difficult to run away from here
