Translation:Satanic song

by Władysław Tarnowski

Wherever I go, I mark trail by sparks, ^[1]
Misery is life! Nonsense are despairs!
Death! Matron! You come? I greet! I greet!
Just let finish goblet of champagne, ^[2]
Then, I serveyou, and I don’task for nothing,
You will be hospitably greeted in the house,
We will go in far road, thatstarry,
Because I’m lonely (how you see) tourist!

Wherever I go, I mark trail by sparks,
Misery is life! Nonsense are despairs!
Death! Shimene! From how far? ^[3] I greet!
Just let me finish smoke a cigar…
Maybe in the meanwhile… here is guitar!
Then I serve you – and I don’t ask for nothing,
We will go in far road, that starry,
Because I’m lonely (how you see) tourist!

Wherever I go, I mark trail by sparks,
Misery is life! Nonsense are despairs!
Just once again give me peck girl’s mouth,
You see! I’m quieter today than a child!
When you get cold in the road – I give you half of coat
On your shoulders – and I’ll take it only
To hide [my] face, if I even for a moment
Were to meet some human – known me head!
If someone wants to kiss me in the road
You will help me out! And we will joke
And which way I go, I mark trail by sparks,
Misery is life! Nonsense are despairs!
