lyrics

Przemsza
by Edward Szymański

If you have patience and some newspapers,
Go and look in the daily press
How many poems do poets write
About the Vistula, the Dunajec and the Neman
Because by the Vistula two capitals and COP,
By the Dunajec – the mountains, the Neman – the woods.
Vistula, Neman, Dunajec. And stop.
Plenty of water in variety of colours.

You’ve read the reports and the poems
A nation, you say, smart in geography.
And about the Przemsza, the Black and the White
No one has ever been able to write.

Because no mountain wind blows over the Przemsza
The day itself wakes up smeared in coal
Because by the Przemsza the soil is full of hollows
Because by the Przemsza lies Dąbrowa Basin

The river runs through the slag and the coal dust
It has no whirlpools, no deepness.
Over the black clumps of heap
Chimneys, chimneys, chimneys.

Work and smoke over the Basin
And not really blue sky
After a day of work, dirty and bitter
The evening blooms with thousands of lamps.
The ground is bound from top to bottom
With strings of wires, shackles of rails.

The White Przemsza – steel and lead
The Black Przemsza – coal and zinc

translated by Mateusz Nowicki
