Panie [English translation]

Lord, who is looking at me with an eye of a moon

Lord, who is looking at me through the sun

Lord, who is both life and death

The stars are your glittering tears

Lord, who through the wind rips the roofs from above our heads

Who has dominion over power of the sea waves

Lord, in whos hands rests fire of conflagration

So many times, so many times I've begged you

Let me yet rest on this earth

Before I see the bright light

Before I find myself in front of you, mute

My own deeds, placing on a scale

Allow me to taste the paradise here

I must see if it is tasty for me

This crumb of happiness, what words

And what gestures will convince you

Lord, who sees life as a winding road

Lord, who persuades our eyes with appearance

I try to read the world as a most sacred book

And it is for me an example of patiance

My life of toil I want to live through

Until my run down heart will stop

But even though when I bend down to the ground

Pleading still, pleading still I won't stop

Let me yet rest on this earth

Before I see the bright light

Before I ge to your entryway

Before I have the eternal peace

Allow me to taste the paradise here

On this earth, that groans of toil

A moment of paradise, and then lead me

To your heavenly rooms
