Translation:Prayer (Tarnowski)

(To music) My prayer – that is whole mankind Sorrowing on the great cross of merits; Every her pain my heart burns, Through the cheek flow me her hot tear. But for that in depth of my spirit I feel Her kindred progress – her aim – and I wander!...

My prayer – that my homeland, Titan who suffers for mistakes of mankind, Hurts me every her glorious scar And I’m every proud – son of Her! by love!... But for that I feel finish of her Resurrection, Which me darkness, in darkness disperses!

My prayer – that is every man, Fighting with oneself – disaster – tyrant And tear of everyone I feel at my eyelids, As a tears of flowers, weeped at break of day, When from a great mountain, praying, the sunrise I greet – and I flow, in the ocean – without end!...
