Pamiętam ciche, jasne, złote dnie

Language: Polish (Polski)

Our translations: ENG

Pamiętam ciche, jasne, złote dnie,
Co mie się dzisiaj cudnym zdają snem,
Bo był otwarty raj także i mnie,
W dzieciństwie mem.

I czasem myślę, żem ja tylko spał,
Że całe życie moje było snem --
Zbudzę się, raj ten odnajdę com miał
W dzieciństwie mem...

I remember quiet, clear, golden days

Language: English after the Polish (Polski)

I remember quiet, clear, golden days,
Which today seem a wondrous dream,
Since there was a paradise open for me, too,
Since it was open, in my childhood.

And sometimes I think that I only slept,
That my whole life was a dream,
I will wake up, I will find the paradise,
Which I had in my childhood!
