Piotr Rubik - Okna Krakowa

Tłumaczenie:

Cracow, Tyniecka number 10, the windows barely aboveground
And a church at Debniki that could change fate
Rooms below ground, enemies of the sun,
Two windows at Tyniecka, where the gaze of the father remained.

When emptiness is a burden, how to dam it up
Good will at friends, the windows looking out to the Felicians
And return to Tyniecka, Kotlarczyk supports in spirit
Brown streaks of war, we shall stage theater

The windows of Krakow, the touch of his eyes
The windows of Krakow, transparencies of memory
The windows of Krakow, the light of his pupils
The windows of Krakow, the house of rays

Slowacki rapsodies give rise to the name
Karol as Father Robak, German radio outside the window
The war tightens its noose, deportations, terror, poverty
In Solwaj a quarry, with heaven as the window

At Debniki parish, the deportation of Salesians
A living rosary of the young, a calling is born
It is 1944, a car, blood, an accident
Big hospital windows are as pale as Karol

The windows of Krakow, the touch of his eyes
The windows of Krakow, transparencies of memory
The windows of Krakow, the light of his pupils
The windows of Krakow, the house of rays

The care of good people, a bright window on Szwedzka
Here it's God, says Karol, thought up for me recollections
The Black Sunday of August, the rap of guns on the door
But the windows on Tyniecka stand guard against torturers

Finally, the Bishop's Palace, the aegis of Prince Sapieha
They will hide the young seminarians till war's end
And stands before Karol, what time shall never erase,
The window at Franciszkanska, his window forever

The windows of Krakow, the light of his pupils
The windows of Krakow, the house of rays
