Żyj tą nadzieją [English translation]

Live with the same hope Columbus and Bach had

Live with the same joy Chaplin wore his old hat

Live with the same smile Mona Lisa glows

Live with the same breath a Marathon man knows

Live through all the disappointment veil

The poet sharpened his pen to defy the evil

And though through a lot of his pain he had to sieve

He wrote because he knew you would live

Live with the same hope Columbus and Bach had

Live with the same joy Chaplin wore his old hat

Live with the same smile Mona Lisa glows

Live with the same breath a Marathon man knows

Live - those who lived need to be repaid somehow

Those who years ago hold in their stiff hands a plow

To form the world for their kids ‘n grand kids careers

For so many bitter, difficult and thankless years

Live with the same hope Columbus and Bach had

Live with the same joy Chaplin wore his old hat

Live with the same smile Mona Lisa glows

Live with the same breath a Marathon man knows

Live – despite your love’s hitting a dead end

Dream despite the black clouds above your head

Get lost in the book pages until the black and white

Will point you to a worthy goal in your sight

Live with the same hope Columbus and Bach had

Live with the same joy Chaplin wore his old hat

Live with the same smile Mona Lisa glows

Live with the same breath a Marathon man knows
