Gorzko pachną samotną jesienią
te wieczory bez Ciebie umarłe,
kiedy marzę zaplątany w jesień,
kiedy serce mnie dławi pod gardłem.
Kiedy liście żółtawym odblaskiem
spełzną na dół na ściśnięte pięście,
w mgłach daleko zagubiona radość,
w mgłach daleko zagubione szczęście.
Potem noce mnie ciszą umęczą,
myśli spali błyskawicą drżenie,
potem serce mi wydrze przymarłe
jesień w wieczór spłakany wspomnieniem.

 

Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński 6-X-1938

Look at me
Now I’m where I’ve been wanting to be
I have waited so long for this
I’ve been blind
I have been such a coward at times
Now I’ve finally opened my eyes

Good things come to those who take them
Nothing’s left for those who are waiting
