Jan Pietrzak - Czy te oczy mogą kłamać

And when they meet, once or twice
A woman with a past, a man with history
They struggle, struggle for a long time
What to do, what to do with this love?

He’s seen them before, he knows these women
With frayed nerves
Who come back in the morning, not alone
He’s already heard of a broken life

She already knows, she knows this story
That his wife doesn’t understand him
That they don’t sleep together at all
She knows it by heart

How can one forget?
How can one erase it from memory?
Better to remain silent, aware
And watch

Can those eyes lie? Probably not!
Could I break a heart? And so on…
When a farce turns into drama, I don’t rush to the corner
Can those eyes lie? Of course not!

And sometimes when life works out
For a woman with history, a man with a past
They rent a place somewhere
And catch, and catch a bit of happiness

He forgets for a year about those women
With very long legs
Who come back in the morning, not alone
He prefers silence with Soviet champagne

She’s already got it, she’s already got that certainty
That all of you long for
She falls asleep without any pills
Wine cools in the fridge

And when it comes to forgetting
And erasing it from memory?
Better to remain silent, aware
And watch

Can those eyes lie? Probably not!
Could I break a heart? And so on…
One day you’ll understand yourself, it was a mistake
Well, can those eyes lie? Of course not!

And can those eyes lie? Probably not!
Could I break a heart? And so on…
One day you’ll understand yourself, it was a mistake
Can those eyes lie? Of course not!
