Anna Maria Jopek - Na dłoni

Tłumaczenie:

So easily it sneaks out of hands.
Keeps running away, disappearing in the fog.
And you wish to make it your own.
You want to lock it with a key, hide it from the world.
Hide it like a treasure, your private treasure.
Impossible.

Because happiness is a fleeting guest.
Happiness is a feather on your hand,
which appears whenever it wants to
and when you're not chasing it.

The more you have, the more you want.
You invent gunpowder and wish to reach the stars
But that's not it, not this, not like that.
And we're still missing something to feel happy.
We're still missing something, so greedily missing.
Open your eyes.

Happiness is the moment that lasts,
uncertain of its beauty.
It's the green of trees, it's children's laughter
Sunsets and sunrises.

*****

So do not look into the distance
because happiness is right next to us.
In an ordinary day, in the scent of home,
among the clouds, in the silence of grass.
It is close to us, so close to us, close to us!

Because happiness is a fleeting guest.
a spell of sunny weather
A wiseman is one, who understood that
happiness is a handful of water.

Happiness is the moment that lasts,
Happiness is a feather on your hand,
which appears whenever it wants to
and when you're not chasing it.
