Chciałbym [English translation]

I wish I had a net

To weave in it life’s thread

To catch with it the radiant moonlight

Or rosy light at dawn

I wish I had this net

To be caught and kept within so tight

I’d like to live and know

Meadows’ smell, tender hands

Feel on my lips the lock of your hair

Hands to join, eyes to close

Fall into lovely dream

Among grass and blooming flower glare

Live in the seventh heaven

Stay awake when evil sleeps

Hum sweet tunes for you

Compose for you like K.I.

I’d like to give you clear dreams

Morning mist, fragrant blooms

Moths , singing birds and wildlife at night

Summer time, flawless world

Wooden fence, birds in flight

Everything we remember outright

Bach appears in our door

Shakes off snow, gives a tone

Plays for us on icicle keyboard

I wish I’d rhyme on whim

To sing with him a hymn

In praise of morning cold

To have peace in sight

Number the good days only

Forgo any fight

Sing songs for you like K.I.

I wish I had a net

To catch the ill’s boredom

And brighten it with radiant light

Spread good news like bread

Turn the fear into sound

Of great beauty if this net was mine

And I could, if you wish

Thread of life in verse hide

And then I would have you forever

Maybe world will be there

still unchanged, I would like

Catch it in my mysterious net

So each hopeful Spring

Only bright and clear days bring

Give us your blessings

With your ageless pen K.I.
