Pieśń o Bet-Lechem - Justyna Steczkowska

Znalazlam wsród zapominianych plyt

Stara piesn — Bisdot Bet-Lechem

Sluchalam jej cala noc, po swit

Bo przynosila mi pocieche

Co laczy mnie z ta melodia

Z niewiarygodna sila lagodna?

Skad wziela sie tu

I czemu zrywa mnie ze snu?

Kto stworzyl te wspaniale

Slowa hebrajskie niezrozumiale?

Co sprawia, ze lzy

Do oczu naplywaja mi?

Znalazlam wsród zapominianych plyt

Stara piesn — Bisdot Bet-Lechem

Sluchalam jej moze cicho zbyt

Jakby to bylo jakims grzechem

A jednak niesie nadzieje

Piesn o Bet-Lechem, czyli Betlejem

Gdzie biblijna Rut

Zbierala klosy cierpiac glód

Ten glód nam towarzyszy

I w pierwszym krzyku, i w wiecznej ciszy —

On sprawia, ze w krew

Gleboko wniknal nam ten spiew:

Twój lud, to mój lud

A twój Bóg, to mój Bóg

I found among forgotten albums

Stara piesn - Bisdot Bet-Lechem

I listened to her all night until dawn

Because she brought me comfort

What connects me with this melody

With incredible gentle strength?

Where did she come from here

And why is it waking me up?

Who created these great

Hebrew words incomprehensible?

What makes her tears

Are they flooding my eyes?

I found among forgotten albums

Stara piesn - Bisdot Bet-Lechem

I listened to her, perhaps too quietly

As if it were some kind of sin

And yet it brings hope

A song about Beth-Lech, or Bethlehem

Where is the biblical Ruth

She collected lampshades suffering from hunger

This hunger is with us

And in the first scream and in eternal silence -

He makes it into the blood

This singing penetrated us deeply:

Your people are my people

And your God is my God
