Slow remix:



Dajesz mi
You give me

i znów odbierasz
And then you take back again

oddech, którym żyję teraz
This breath that I live upon right now

Ja nic nie wiem
I no longer know anything*

Modlę się o ciebie
I just pray for having you


Przybliżasz się
You come closer

i znów oddalasz
And then you distance yourself again

Karzesz mnie
You punish me

i znów nagradzasz
And then you reward me again

Ja nic nie wiem
I no longer know anything

Ja chcę ciebie
I just want you


Chcę cię jak wody spragniony,
I want you like a thirsty man wants water

jak słów niemowa,
Like a mute person yearns for words

jak miłości chce młody,
Like the young crave for love

jak Ziemia życia
Like the Earth wants life


Pragniesz mnie
You want me

i znów unikasz
And then you avoid me again

Gubię się gubię się gubię się
I keep losing myself

w twych dotykach
In your touching

Ja nic nie wiem
I no longer know anything

Jestem w niebie
I'm in heaven


Przybliżasz się
You come closer

i znów oddalasz
And then you distance yourself again

Nagroda to jest
Is it a reward?

czy też kara?
Or maybe a punishment?

Ja nic nie wiem
I no longer know anything

Ja chcę ciebie
I just want you


Chcę cię jak wody spragniony
I want you like a thirsty man wants water

jak słów niemowa
Like a mute person yearns for words

jak miłości chce młody
Like the young crave for love

jak Ziemia życia
Like the Earth wants life

* In the original lyrics Kayah sings "I know nothing" but what she really means is "I know nothing except that... (eg. I want you)". So, to not make the translation too vague on one hand or too obvious on the other, I've opted for "I no longer know anything" and adding "just" in the following line

I can't describe my love for that album and every single song from it. thank you so much Pawel for translating all of these beautiful songs by Kayah. She's just perfect with a beautiful voice. I don't know why but I always feel compassion for her.

I won't deny that her songs have been my companions for such a long time. Nor that I love her so very much

It makes me so happy that they resonate with you, my friend!

And let me repeat myself that it was an honour and a pleasure to do these translations for you and for others who happen to find them.
