Terra
Jak modlitewny
młynek wiruje.
Błękitne oko
w kosmicznej zupie.
Rodzimy się
z kości i krwi
Drobni jak pył
w skali wszechrzeczy
I chcemy żyć
jak długo się da
A los jeśli zły
niech omija nas
Tkwimy w imadle
Obu biegunów
planety spiętej
w talii równikiem
nim miniemy
jak mija wszystko
my - wędrujący w czasie od eonów byt
Rodzimy się
z kości i krwi
Znaczący nic
w skali wszechrzeczy
i chcemy żyć
ci z wiosek i miast
a los jeśli zły
niech omija nas
Jesteśmy tu
by zestarzeć się
w pielgrzymkach do miejsc
gdzie chowa się sens
dobrzy i źli
sługa i pan
po prostu chcą żyć
jak długo się da
Żyć
Żyć
Żyć
Po prostu żyć...
(english translation)
Just like a prayer
Wheel is spinning.
A blue eye
Within the cosmic soup.
We are born
of bone and blood,
petty as a dust
in the scale of everything.
We want to live
as long as we can
And the fate, if it's wicked,
Let it avoid us.
We're stuck in a vice
of the two poles
of a planet, fastened
in the waist by the equator.
Before we pass,
just as everything passes.
We - a being wandering through time since the aeons
We are born
of bone and blood
meaning nothing
in the scale of everything.
We want to live,
both those from the country and from the city,
And the fate, if it's wickd,
Let it avoid us
We're here
To grow old
Within the pilgrimages to those places
where the sense is hidden
The good and the evil,
The master and the servant
They simply want to live
As long as they can
Live
Live
Live
Simply live
