Farben Lehre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wyrówna się wszystko, siła wybuchnie w nas
Mocno w to wierzę - będzie inaczej
Wyrówna się wszystko i ja to zobaczę
Nie można opanować rozgrzanych emocji
Rozbudzonych agresji, nadziei pochopnych
Lecz jeszcze w to wierzę - wszystko się zmieni
Bez krzyku rozpaczy, krwawej scenerii
Dzień za dniem mija jak sen
Maszyna szarości powoli wchłania mnie
Mocno w to wierzę, że w chwili, gdy zasnę
Nie ogarnie mnie ciemność i wszystko nie zgaśnie
Oto cała moja wiara
Tyle mi trzeba
Oto cała moja wiara
I tak nie pójdę do nieba

Nieraz sobie myślę - zmieni się czas
Sometimes I think - the times will change
Wyrówna się wszystko, siła wybuchnie w nas
Everything will level out, strength will burst in us
Mocno w to wierzę - będzie inaczej
I strongly believe - things will be different
Wyrówna się wszystko i ja to zobaczę
Everything will level out and I will see it
Nie można opanować rozgrzanych emocji
Hot emotions cannot be controlled
Rozbudzonych agresji, nadziei pochopnych
Roused aggression, hasty hope
Lecz jeszcze w to wierzę - wszystko się zmieni
But I still believe - everything will change
Bez krzyku rozpaczy, krwawej scenerii
Without the cry of despair, bloody scene
Dzień za dniem mija jak sen
Day after day passes like a dream
Maszyna szarości powoli wchłania mnie
The machine of grayness slowly devours me
Mocno w to wierzę, że w chwili, gdy zasnę
I strongly believe that when I fall asleep
Nie ogarnie mnie ciemność i wszystko nie zgaśnie
Darkness won't consume me and everything won't go out
Oto cała moja wiara
Here is all my faith
Tyle mi trzeba
That's all I need
I tak nie pójdę do nieba
And I won't go to heaven anyway
