Czerwony Tulipan - Kiedy umrę kochanie

When I die, my love,
when I part with the sun
and become a sad, oblong object.

Will you gather me onto you then,
embrace me with arms
and put to rights what cruel fates have spoilt.

I often think of you.
write you often,
silly letters with love therein,
silly letters with a smile inside.

Then, I hide them in a stove
the flame leaps between the words,
until calmly drifting asleep among the ashes.

Gazing upon the flame, my love,
I wonder - what will happen
with my love-filled heart.

But let not
that I die in this world
that is dark, that is
dark and cold.
