Description
Broken promises are like old postcards of paradise - beautiful, but someone else's. At first, I believed in bouquets of plans and an eternal script, but it turned out that the roles in this play are easily rewritten, and the actresses change without warning. The dream dissolves, leaving behind only a mirage of a garden where someone else has long lived. The ironic sadness in the voice sounds like a reminder: even the sweetest illusions have an expiry date.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Obiecywałeś nam wspólny raj, gdzie tylko dla nas miał być wstęp.
Bukiety planów na wiele lat nie dotyczyły jednak mnie.
Iluzje, mary do dna bez wątpliwości piłam to na raz.
Wmówiłeś mi nasz obraz, aż prawie uwierzyłam, że to ja.
I gdzie obiecany nam wspólny raj, z którego nie zostało nic? I za horyzontem już stary świat.
Z daleka go oglądam dziś. To ona będzie gubić się w tej grze.
I może wmówisz jej, że ma to sens.
Gdzie obiecany nam wspólny raj, z którego dzisiaj nie ma nic.
I powoli znika sen.
I powoli znika. Obiecywałeś nam wspólny raj.
A dla mnie został tylko mit.
I dalej stoi tam z marzeń sad.
A to nie ze mną mieszkasz w nim, bo stworzyłeś sobie postać i zmieniasz tylko odtwórczynie ról.
Tak chciałam wierzyć, że to o nas na ślepo nabrałam się w scenariusz twój.
I gdzie obiecany nam wspólny raj, z którego nie zostało nic? I za horyzontem już stary świat.
Z daleka go oglądam dziś.
To ona będzie gubić się w tej grze. I może wmówisz jej, że ma to sens.
Gdzie obiecany nam wspólny raj, z którego dzisiaj nie ma nic.
I powoli znika sen.
I zapracujesz na nią źle.
I powoli znika sen.
I powoli znika sen
English translation
You promised us a common paradise, where only we were allowed to enter.
Bouquets of plans for many years, however, did not concern me.
Illusions, I had no doubt that I drank it all at once.
You convinced me of our image until I almost believed it was me.
And where is the common paradise promised to us, of which nothing remains? And beyond the horizon is the old world.
I watch it from afar today. She will be the one who gets lost in this game.
And maybe you can convince her that it makes sense.
Where is the common paradise that was promised to us, of which there is nothing today?
And slowly the dream disappears.
And it slowly disappears. You promised us a common paradise.
And for me there is only a myth left.
And the dreamy orchard still stands there.
And it's not me you live in there with, because you created a character for yourself and you only change the actresses.
I wanted to believe that it was about us that I blindly fell for your script.
And where is the common paradise promised to us, of which nothing remains? And beyond the horizon is the old world.
I watch it from afar today.
She will be the one who gets lost in this game. And maybe you can convince her that it makes sense.
Where is the common paradise that was promised to us, of which there is nothing today?
And slowly the dream disappears.
And you will earn it badly.
And slowly the dream disappears.
And slowly the dream disappears
