88. Stanisław Soyka (vocals, lyrics) – Kiedy jesteś taka bliska (When you are so close)

Another simple but charming song by Stanisław Soyka. The lyrics are actually a poem from Soyka’s volume of verse called “Fracha”, published in 1991.

Again, there are some discrepancies in the lyrics. On his website, Soyka has placed the poem with the word “wibruje” in the last stanza, but in the performance below the word “wiruje” may be heard. Of course, such changes are possible not only for the performer, but especially for the author.

Soyka refers to the biblical myth of expelling Adam and Eve from the paradise after which God placed two angels in front of the garden to guard the entrance. In Soyka’s poem, the angels guard the entrance as well, but the lovers seem to be still inside the paradise garden.

Kiedy jesteś taka bliska	When you are so close
Oto jesteś przy mnie cała	And here you are with me
taka piękna taka rozpalona	So beautiful, so fevered
tańczą nasze pocałunki	Our kisses are dancing
tańczy noc i ognie płoną	Night is dancing and fire’s burning
kiedy jesteś taka bliska	When you are so close
świata nie ma	There’s no world
czasu nie ma	There’s no time
mnie nie ma	There’s no me
Niebo cicho podpatruje	The heaven silently watches
nasze słowa myśli czyny	Our words, thoughts, acts
moje dłonie odnajdują	My hands are finding
twoje dłonie	Your hands
Niewidzialni aniołowie	Invisible angels
strzegą bram naszego raju	Guard the gates of our paradise
noc wibruje/wiruje niewymownie	The night is pulsating/swirling unspeakably
