Magda Umer - Jeżeli miłość jest

If there is love

For our weakness and misery
for the dumbness of hearts and souls
for that that we won't be taken to better seas and mountains
for the swarm of black thoughts
for eyes full of tears
love sometimes is the cure, if love is possible, if it exists


For human meanness and pettiness
for the sharp chill from God
for that that nothing happened, and a miracle was to happen
for the gray mouse-like fear
for a brethren's hostile gesture
love sometimes is the cure, if love exists, if it is possible,


Here puppets toy with people, here time toys with us
Here great mills grind us down, turn us into dust
For that that dust turns to dust ,and that after the beginning there is end
love sometimes is the salvation, if love exists, if it is possible,

For the misery and gloom of countries, and for states' glory
for the police, the lies, the boredom, the power of petty roguery
for the heartache at night, for a man's dog's life
love sometimes is the salvation, if there is love, if there is love
