Zdzisława Sośnicka - Byłam ptakiem

I was a bird, just the song
A string wobbling in your hands
To the highest pitch in love
I was light, like in a dream
I was
The wood of the broken violin
A silent wail and futile tear
A shadow fading into the dark
Something so empty, as the space itself
I am

Nothing ever changes
Nothing but us
The Earth never changes
It's stillness in the stars
And people keep running
Where they used to run
And they know nothing
They're never noticed anything

Nothing ever changes
In the daily routine
There's just no us
But it all lasts
There's just no us
Nothing happened
The world doesn't care
Much about that loss

Roses on fire, forests last
It's hard to find joy in that
Losing today, talking of tomorrow
Believing, as everything dies inside
The future
No flowers, words withered
I won't keep any of your love
Except for the sorrow, that all over again
Keeps us coming back the steep road
To the past

Nothing ever changes
Nothing but us
The Earth never changes
It's stillness in the stars
And people keep running
Where they used to run
And they know nothing
They're never noticed anything

Nothing ever changes
In the daily routine
There's just no us
But it all lasts
There's just no us
Nothing happened
The world doesn't care
Much about that loss
