>>>>>> T. Nalepa "What Happened to the Flowers"
Why have they withered today?
Why have the flowers withered today?
What has happened to them?
After all, you only just left.
The sun rose, just like any other day—
why have the flowers withered today?
Why is the bird silent?
Why does it hold back its song?
Perhaps you took it away with you;
perhaps you took the scent of the flowers, too.
You took one old dress,
you took one pair of old shoes.
Now I am alone—
now, in this city, I am all alone.
Lifeless people hurry somewhere,
lifeless birds cry out something.
So many paths, so many roads—
the rain has already washed away your tracks.
Lyrics – Bogdan Loebl
Music – Tadeusz Nalepa
