Maciej Maleńczuk - Pies

Tłumaczenie:

The weather was wet when the red multiplied
Its sour taste sent shivers down the spine
The bread was poisoned, as the news spread
Through the country, waves of rain passed by

We lived gloomily
Sitting in cottages during the day
Feeding the Jew in the tavern, not missing a Sunday
They sang songs until they stopped singing
Because the barking of a dog came from afar

So in the distance, a dog started barking
It filled my heart with true despair
Another joined him, as usual
The whole village echoed with barking
I ran out of the cottage as the day was fading
And I ran to the neighbor's house

What I see - the house barks and its inhabitants
Barking and growling, biting each other on the way
The whole village dances a mad dog dance
Some bite each other; others sniff shamefully

The dogs tuck their tails between their legs
In silent terror, they pull themselves off the chain
And the people poured out of the houses onto the market square
Howling and barking until they lost their spirits

But the barking did not affect me
Only disgust tightened my throat
That my fellow countrymen, my whole village
Had fallen into madness and the worst filth

Through the market to the church, through the dog mob
I pushed my way while being bitten
And there, next to the church cottage
On the painted altar

When I was already in the church, I didn't say much
I was deeply moved
I only sobbed, cried; I couldn't say much
At the feet of the beloved maiden

And as I howled and cried
A shiver was shaking my bo-o-o-ody
I no longer confessed like a human
I howled and barked like a dog

But my beloved understands me well
She does not scold my dog prayer
She just holds me by the chin
Knowing that I am not guilty of the dog mania

And when she scratched my ear
All the fear of God flew out of me
And she sang a tender song for me
And as sleep laid me at her feet

So I spent the whole night in the church with the virgin
While the madness raged on the market square
And even though I completely turned into an animal
Sin did not take hold of my body
