Sanah - Hymn (J. Słowacki)

God, I'm sad, for me in the west
You have spilled a radiant rainbow of light
In front of me you extinguish in the azure water
A fiery star

Like empty ears of grains, with a raised head
I stand vain of pleasure and satiety
I have identical face for foreign people
A silence of azure

Even that you gild me the sky and the sea
I'm sad
God, I'm sad
But I will open the depths of my heart to you
I'm sad
God, I'm sad

I'm close to crying like a little child
that complains about their mother leaving
Looking at the sun throwing me from the wave
The last flashes

Today on the vast sea I'm insane
A hundred miles from a shore, a hundred miles before a shore
I saw storks flying in the air
In a long formation

I knew them once on polish fallow lands
I'm sad
God, I'm sad
Even that I know that new auroras will shine tomorrow
I'm sad
God, I'm sad

I often thought over the grave of people
I almost haven't known my family home
I have lived like a pilgrim that struggles on the road
Under the light of a thunder

You will see my white bones
Not under the guard of columnar foreheads
But I'm a person who envies
the graves of the ashes

So because you are preparing an unknown bed for me
I'm sad
God, I'm sad
Because I don't know where I will lie down in the grave
I'm sad
God, I'm sad

In the country they asked an innocent child
To pray for me every day; but I
Know, that my ship does not sail to the country
Sailing around the world

On the glowing rainbow that was so enormously
Spread by your angels in heaven
New people somewhere, a hundred years after me
Will be looking - and dying

So because, a child's prayer can do nothing
I'm sad
God, I'm sad
Before I humble myself to my nothingness
I'm sad
God, I'm sad
