And for the land where storks nests to destroy/ As a serious misdeed we do perceive,/ For they provide us all with mirth and joy.../ O Lord I grieve... And for the country where each greeting nod/ Is dear to Him in whom we do believe,/ For meeting friends we say: «Praise be to God».../ O Lord I grieve... But there is also something else I miss,/ That's something different, equally naive;/ Though I have no idea where that is.../ O Lord I grieve... And for the griefless time of thoughtlessness,/ For those who never fancy to deceive,/ And take each no for no and yes for yes.../ O Lord I grieve... And now who cares for me and for my woe/ That even time so long may not relieve?/ Not for my friendship, but it must be so.../ O Lord I grieve...The original has: ,,I tak być musi, choć się tak nie stanie/Przyjaźni mojéj". The relation of the ,,friendship" to the rest of the stanza is equally unclear as in this my rendering of it.
