WITHOUT END

 

   My Love, where are you?

   I have searched for you, and am searching still

   When the day is bright, I search for you in the mirror;

   When the night is dark, I seek you in the stars

   Even when you stand right before me, Love,

   Sometimes I cannot see where you are, or who you are!

   My heart will never tire of this quest,

   Though my mind would falter

   Where are you, my Love?

   Are you near, or distant?

   Do you seek me, or seek to avoid me?

   Perhaps you live in my mind alone!
   Despite that, I will search for you, Love...

   Without end!

BEZ KOŃCA

Ciągle Cię szukam ,tak bez końca
wśród ciemnych nocy i dni słonecznych
Szukam Cię w gwiazdach i lustrzanym odbiciu,
Gdzie jesteś dziś nie wiem.
Tak daleko do Ciebie Kochanie ,
Serce me tęskni z każdym dniem bardziej...
I szuka i znaleźć nie może ..
Może w słowie ukryłeś wspomnienie o sobie ,
a może gdzieś stoisz koło mnie tak nie realnie
tak zwyczajnie a ja wciąż szukam i znaleźć nie mogę .

-Jola S

Author's Note

When I first discovered Jola, it was apparent that her English was minimal,
and that she was relying on a computer translation matrix. It's rendering
was sub-par, to say the least. I, however, speak no Polish at all. So I offered
to take it's version and rework it into something which I hoped approximated
her original intent. If you speak Polish, you are welcome to tell me how nearly
I succeeded.
