Piotr Rubik - Habemus Papam

I know that conclave's choice is secret ,
endless crowd on marketplace.
Vatican, eyes of the world are turned here,
and I'm curious what he have felt.
Did any inner voice warn him,
that this choice is overwhelming.
Is it why he's already fallen,
ended, somehow different?

When black smoke over basilica,
has flown into cloudless sky.
Did he presage anything seeing his name,
among noble candidates?
Did he expect it at heart,
although Pope was supposed to be Italian?!
When he heard voice of Primate Wyszyński
„If You are chosen accept, for Poland”

Habemus Papam , Habemus Papam ,
White smoke over Vatican.
Habemus Papam , Habemus Papam ,
By wind over mountain upcast,
Habemus Papam , Habemus Papam ,
Pope from country faraway,
Habemus Papam , Habemus Papam ,
Where all bells are chiming today.

Zygmunt's bell, his beloved bell
entwines Wawel castle with joy.
This faraway land, close thanks to community of faith
Habemus Papam , Habemus Papam .

I know that conclae's voices are crossing,
It's eight voting as far back.
The electors are announcing quick end,
And I wonder if he was afraid.
What he have felt when Maximilian Dyfyrstenberg,
whom Wojtyła esteemed so much,
came to him at break, embraced him and said.
„He's here and is calling for You”

What have he felt when a little moment after election,
in heartprickling silece,
he stood leaning, bent under the burden
and haven't said „I accept”.
Those mamorable words from the balcony
Which Italy wants to beat.
And if I can not express myself
in your... our italian language,
Correct me If I was wrong.

Habemus Papam , Habemus Papam ,
White smoke over Vatican.
Habemus Papam , Habemus Papam ,
By wind over mountain upcast,
Habemus Papam , Habemus Papam ,
Pope from country faraway,
Habemus Papam , Habemus Papam ,
Where all bells are chiming today.

Zygmunt's bell, his beloved bell
entwines Wawel castle with joy.
This faraway land, close thanks to community of faith
Habemus Papam , Habemus Papam
Habemus Papam , Habemus Papam .
