Once forbidden sound

Karolina Marszałkowska 1993 (Gdańsk)



Caressed by voices of birds in the air
Like falling in sleep when I shouldn't be
To hear what's forbidden to be ever seen
Feeling uneasy with trees around that glare

So I heard what I should not, what of it?
I don't care , it's too late to go back

But wait , shouldn't songs be meant to hear?
Why to treat their breath as a sin?
I should once, for good make you realize
That a tune isn't something you should despise

So wake up ! Stop the sleep of a men!
Become now a truth! Become now enchanced!
Cause I heard what I should not , so come after me !
We will show whole world what they missed to see !
