Kołysanka Dla Nieznajomej [Kochaj mnie!] [English translation]

When You don’t now enjoy

a world of mechanical toys,

When You feel strong pain—

that's not physical

Instead You listen to

silly tele-prophets across seven seas.

Ask yourself: What do You want?

Why do You lie, that You had everything?

When pretending (that) You sleep,

In your head tracking tales from tabloids.

When You don’t want to dream…

other people’s dreams.

Barefoot come to me,

proudly from my doorstep tell me:

What do You want?

Listen how two hearts are beating!

What people are thinking – that doesn’t matter!

Come love me! Come love me!

Love me without even thinking—

like a dry match loves a flame,

like a dry well loves water.

Love me so passionately,

as if the world were ending!

Find your own place in life,

don’t ask if such love makes some kind of sense.

Listen: what your body’s speaking.

In a well of Love, You will not drown!

Come love me! Come love me!

Love me without even thinking—

like a dry match loves a flame,

like a dry well loves water.

Come love me! Come love me!

Love me without even thinking—

like a windowed moon laughs & cries

On rope o'er the abyss, dance!

Until in one brief while

You grasp what You live for.
