Little Can the Dead Do | final version
translated poem:
Umarli potrafią niewiele
-
Michał Zabłocki
All dead men can do almost nothing
They know such few things
They mostly don't know what's up
Simply do not follow
They missed many, many occasions
Didn't seize the day with their God
Although so many times they have been told
Those times passed by anyway
It is true:they are really reluctant
It is hard to teach them to be curious
Coz they think they have lived their own lives
They put off all their duties
But you have to admit it: they know how to observe us
To watch you tight and make judgements
They toss up high their hollow eyes
To place them in some other orbits
They know such few things
They mostly don't know what's up
Simply do not follow
They missed many, many occasions
Didn't seize the day with their God
Although so many times they have been told
Those times passed by anyway
It is true:they are really reluctant
It is hard to teach them to be curious
Coz they think they have lived their own lives
They put off all their duties
But you have to admit it: they know how to observe us
To watch you tight and make judgements
They toss up high their hollow eyes
To place them in some other orbits
