Ocalić od zapomnienia [English translation]

How many roads traveled together

How many trails retramped

How many rains, how many snows

In suspension, by gas lamps

How many leaflings, how many partings

In myriad cities hours stark

And rediscover verve to rise

And trudge anew and reach the mark

How many, in unyielding straits,

Shared anxieties, shared goals

How many breads divided

Kisses? Stairways? Tomes?

Your eyes lovely candles

And the heart their rays' origin

So that heart I'd like to give

A rescue from oblivion

Round your shoulders hangs a cloak

Loudly, of the wood's birdlings

Unfurled the length of corridors

Through the courtyard, to the star Venus

And you the flight and heights of clouds

Flare of water and rock leaden

I'd like to give your eyes' gloom

A rescue from oblivion
