Ania Rusowicz - Pieśń Wiktorii

Without you, the fragrant lilacs have already bloomed
And I don't need the unnecessary glow of cherry blossom lights
Because how do I stop you
How do I explain
When the motherland calls you,
When it takes you away from me?

Without you, spring once again lacks colors
A clear fog covers the lakes of my tears
Because how do I stop the dream
How do I explain, when
Every night I still dream
Of how you come back to me alive?

But someone is waiting for you somewhere
Your blonde-haired one
The laughter of your children
You will return to where your home is
And everything will be as if nothing had happened
And the earth will yield its harvest again
Of red poppies, scented with blood
