Czesław Niemen - Terra Deflorata

you have given us, Lord
wonder of the universe
fruit of all existence - the Earth

man
brutal technocrat
violates her destiny

you have given us, Lord
types of cereals
and multi-colored flowers

man
makes crop failure
Terra Deflorata

you have given us, Lord
water sources
the miracle of life-giving soil

man
he multiplied his own flocks
in the illusion of the forces of need

tou have given us, Lord
dreams safe
you sheltered from destruction

man has incarnated
into opposing armies
Terra Deflorata

You have given us, Lord
over riches
the gift of daily bread

man
in the obsession with land rule
offends the grace of heaven

you have given us, Lord
sacred laws
over the elaboration books

man
he delights in violence
Terra Deflorata

you have given us, Lord
sonorous word
bugle calls over the thundering trumpets

man
his orations are awkward
embellishes with platitudes

you have given us, Lord
the gift of creation
good among the neighbors of the world

deliver us from lies
villainy
OH! Terra Deflorata!!!
