Okna Krakowa [English translation]

Krakow, Tyniecka (street) 10, windows just above the ground

And the church on Debniki, which could change one's fate

Rooms in the cellar, enemy of the sun

Two windows on Tyniecka (street), in which remained the father's sight

When emptiness is heavy, how can we stop it

Warmheartedness between friends, windows towards Felicjanek

And return to Tyniecka (street), Kotlarczyk raises one's spirit

Brown haze of war, we will put on a play

Windows of Krakow, the touch of his eyes

Windows of Krakow, memories of his field of sight

Windows of Krakow, the light of his eyes

Windows of Krakow, the house of rays

Slowacki's Rhapsody gives the name,

Karol as (heroic) Robak priest, German radio behind the window,

The war goes on, people are taken away, terror, misery

The quarry of Solwaj, where the sky was the only window

In the parish of Debniki the Salesians were taken away,

A living rosary of the youth, such is the birth of vocation

It is the year forty four: a car, blood, accident

The big hospital windows are as pale as Karol

Windows of Krakow, the touch of his eyes

Windows of Krakow, memories of his field of sight

Windows of Krakow, the light of his eyes

Windows of Krakow, the house of rays

The care of good people, bright windows in the Szwedzka (Swedish street)

Here God created my confessions, Karol will say

The black sunday in August, the noise of the guns on the door

But the doors on Tyniecka (street) are guarding against the henchmen

Finally the bishop's palace, the wings of prince Sapieha

will shelter the young clerics until the war is over

And before Karol stands what time won't ravage,

The window on Franciszkanska (street), his window forever

Windows of Krakow, the light of his eyes

Windows of Krakow, the house of rays
