the snuff-box

Polish → English translation for the song "ta-bakiera" by Goran Bregovic lyrics.

Polish

ta-bakiera

Twojej tabakierze dziœ
Jak przyjació³ce drogiej
Powierzam moje ³zy
Choæ noc nie œpimy obie

Ju¿ wtorek odszed³ gdzieœ
Za oknem œroda rano
Jak dawniej wszystko jest
Choæ nie tak samo

(Hej) tabakiero czas
Na sen lecz nim odfrunê
Ty papierosa daj
Jak jego poca³unek
Zaœnij i niczego
Na dzisiaj ju¿ nie ¿a³uj
Masz znak na sobie jego inicja³ów

Ref:
Tê tabakierê chocia¿ tak¹ ciebie czêœæ
Te tabakierê mogê dziœ przy sobie mieæ
Tê tabakierê jak znak mi³oœci twojej
Niech truje to mniej boli
Tê tabakierê tylko tak¹ ciebie czêœæ
Tê tabakierê mogê dziœ przy sobie mieæ
Na zawsze zostaw jak znak mi³oœci twojej
Niech truje mnie powoli

Ju¿ wtorek odszed³ gdzieœ
Za oknem œroda rano
Siedzimy tu we dwie
I wspominamy

Tabakiero czas
Na sen lecz nim odfrunê
Ty papierosa daj
Jak jego poca³unek

Raz jeszcze siê popieszczê
Wdychaj¹c dym poma³u
Po sercu z piêtnem jego
Inicja³ów

Ref:
Tê tabakierê...

English

the snuff-box

to your snuff-box today
as to my dear friend
I confide my tears
though we both don't sleep

tuesday is already gone
wednesday morning came outside
everything's the same
and everything's different

(hey) the snuff-box, it's time
for sleep but before I fly away
give a cigarette to me
like his kiss
fall asleep and do not
regret anything for today
there are his initials on you

ref.
the snuff-box at least this part of you
the snuff-box I can have beside me today
the snuff-box as sign of your love
let it poison, it hurts less
the snuff-box at least this part of you
the snuff-box I can have beside me today
the snuff-box as sign of your love
let it poison me slowly

tuesday is already gone
wednesday morning came outside
we're sitting here the two of us
looking back
the snuff-box, it's time
for sleep but before I fly away
give a cigarette to me
like his kiss

I'll enjoy myself once again
breathing the smoke in slowly
along my heart with the sign of his
initials
