Lao Che - Życie jest jak tramwaj

Life is like a tram

I can't come today, because I don't exist anymore[1].
Something has come up[2], I won't say "goodbye".
For some reason, I couldn't resist the charge of a certain tram.
I likely won't come today[3], because I died.

The motorman's movement was overly daring
The tram, unpardoning, striked and took my head away.
My head won't stand in any tram anymore.
Public transport are a blague[4]. Give me back my head bastards

I d-d-d-died, I d-d-d-died
I d-d-d-died, I d-d-d-died


And the Angels have warned [me]
Their wings were just like Messerschmitts
"Mister, be careful, or[5] you'll die,
and you'll be walking around killed[6]

A mediocre writer once said: "life is like a tram",
A mediocre writer said: "life is like a tram".
Life is like a tram, you ought to know when to leave it[7].
I could beat that bastard down, I swear to God.

[1] A bit more literally, "there's no me anymore", a lot more literally, "[it] doesn't have me anymore"
[2] Literally "something fell out of me".
[3] Literally "Today I likely won't fall [into something].
[4] Or maybe "public transport of grand", though I'm not sure what "grand" could refer to here.
[5] Rather than "or else you will/may die", it could also sort of mean "because you are going to die".
[6] It sounds awkward in Polish too. A more liberal translation would be "you'll be walking [around] dead", though this line seems to have no connotations regarding zombies.
[7] Literally "sit out [of it]". "Wysiąść"/"Wysiadać" can also colloquially mean "break down". Here it might also be alluding to dying.
