Lao Che - Lelum Polelum

Knock-knock, knock-knock
Fog is at the gate and with it, a phantom
It will breathe coldness into the dead
Offer the icons your prayers

Lelum Polelum*

In the night- night
In the people a dark night
With the shadow horde, a night
The spectre deludes blowing the bone
...the spectre deludes blowing the bone

Ghost stories**
The woods lives
The patriarch's briefing
The hamlet will destroy the phantom with witchcraft

..."it's dark everywhere,
it's quiet everywhere,
what will happen? what will happen?"***

*"Lelum Polelum" is a phrase used to describe someone who is slow and clumsy, it's a very "Polish" phrase.
**"Strachy na Lchy" refers to the old name for Polish people (lach) and literally means "to scare someone in vain as they have a strong mind and don't scare easily"
***A reference to "Dziady", a book by Adam Mickiewicz
