Strach się bać [English translation]

1.

This democracy is a wonderful state

Cause everyone feels like a master in it

Cause everyone feels like a lord in it

Until somebody calls him the riffraff

The freedom of speech is a great thing

And you can scream what you want

But besides, there's also the good and the evil

The prosecutor will explain it to you

The prosecutor will explain it to you

Chorus:

There's the fear of being afraid

Simply, there's the fear of being afraid

There's no way

To escape from the democracy

2.

This democracy is a rainbow of colours

Something for butterflies, never for larvae

And only a small thorn is hiding

Blackness dominates in this palette

Free elections, you may know this

Every four years you rush to the ballot box

At this surprise, your beak softens

You cast a ballot and you elect poultry1

You cast a ballot and you elect poultry

Chorus:

There's the fear of being afraid

Simply, there's the fear of being afraid

There's no way

To escape from the democracy (x2)

The prosecutor will explain it to you

The prosecutor will explain it to you

Chorus:

There's the fear of being afraid

Simply, there's the fear of being afraid

There's no way

To escape from the democracy (x2)
