Szyba [English translation]

(And nobody said stay)

1.

Everybody asks where you are from and what you do,

it is enough for them that you have some name.

Don't try to tell them about yourself

'cause instead of you, they see the face.

2.

I thought then that there is nothing to wait for:

the time is passing fast and there is only one life.

It was not an easy gesture, they said I am escaping

with a ticket in my hand on a one-way cruise.

Chorus:

Every day the same game starts

and it reminds you of the dreams from your childhood.

You want to break the pane of glass but it diffracts

and everybody is there and opposite them - you!

You want to break the pane of glass whereas it diffracts

and everybody is there and opposite them - you!

3.

I was left alone so I write long letters.

I don't have money, I know too little now.

I learn a lot of words, I understand almost all,

and the world looks as if it was behind glass.

4.

Every morning, looking through a dirty window,

I try to believe that this fog will disperse,

that I will be able to really touch something again

and a miracle will happen - a pane of glass will disappear.

Chorus

(...)

(So I left...)
