Zdzisława Sośnicka - Nocne preludium

The sunshine knows about us,
but the night has never met us anytime,
although the day had been finished again.

We - both wiser after this one year -
and more intimate by one step today -
a dream will tell us the rest.

Our dream turns off the stars outside of the windows
and a time is burning in the fire of candles.
Come into a dream - like into deep sea -
like into unknown land,
we will be there ourselves
before the day will wake up from the bottom of the river.

The happiness comes to the people everyday
and lasts one moment, two moments or one century.
The night is lasting now - our own prelude -
and is telling us, whe should believe the night and only the night.

The song about us ourselves,
the stopped time,
while the night is tipping the stars.

Somewhere the people are afraid of night,
that daylight wil turn off everything, which is lasting now.
So our dreams - before the end of the prelude -
we should take for us.

And You, and me - together -
only You and me.
