Przeżyj to sam

Some of the things that are happening in the US, Canada, UK, and other countries are reminding me of one particular song. The situation right now is a lot different. But it's the same situation: people are afraid to act.



Lombard - Przeżyj to sam

Na zycie patrzysz bez emocji
Na przekor czasom i ludziom wbrew
Gdziekolwiek jestes w dzien czy w nocy
Oczyma widza ogladasz gre
Ktos inny zmienia swiat za Ciebie
Nadstawia glowe, podnosi krzyk
A Ty z daleka, bo tak lepiej
I w razie czego nie tracisz nic

Refren:
Przezyj to sam, przezyj to sam
Nie zamieniaj serca w twardy glaz
Poki jeszcze serce masz

Widziales wczoraj znow w dzienniku
Zmeczonych ludzi wzburzony tlum
I jeden szczegol wzrok Twoj przykul
Ogromne morze ludzkich glow
A spiker cedzil ostre slowa
Od ktorych nagla wzbierala zlosc
I poczal w Tobie gniew kielkowac
Az pomyslales: milczenia dosc

(My humble translation)
Lombard - Survive this yourself

You look at life without emotions
Against the times, in defiance of the people
Wherever you are in the day or night
Through the eyes of a spectator, you watch the game
Someone else is changing the world for you
He risks his neck, and raises his voice
But you from afar, it's better like that
And should something happen, you don't loose anything

Survive this yourself, Survive this yourself
Don't turn your heart into hard stone
So long as you still have a heart

Yesterday you saw the news again:
Exhausted people, and outraged crowd
And one little detail caught your eye
A huge sea of human heads
The speaker drew out harsh words
From which anger abruptly grew
That same anger sprouted in you
Until you thought: enough silence
