Czesław Śpiewa - Rarytas

I bought a harpoon and a spear
A net and some potassium cyanide
And I am going to the bedroom
Like my grandfather went to the forest

I will wrestle the animal
In this dark and low burrow
No beast can frighten me
Because I'll murder them all

Cockroaches under the pillow
Little rats jumping into the hole
After the supper we start
A brand new night in the exile

This night will be full of adventures
Crazy and wild
I will prove to my ancestors
That I have a soul of the warrior

I will kill the animal with my harpoon
I will crush the bug with my heel
I will grind everything in the mincer
Until it becomes a pulp and a mash

In the night when the owner comes back
He will find fat cutlets
For his dinner
And for his woman

However, they will surprise me:
They will eat everything, they'll ask for more
They will grease the bread with the fat
I will vomit and I will shiver

Eventually, the blind will see
Finally, the deaf will hear
That here it is a rarity and a luxury
To eat rats and cockroaches

I naively thought that they
scorn and despise me
And now I can see clearly
that they actually looked after me

It became gradually obvious
That they are kind for us
And instead of keeping the rats
We stupidly combated them!
