AMERICA

America, America, a land of great wonders!

America attracts people with or without money.

Comfort, success, wealth hoping to find

Free brotherhood here strive to gain.

And everything is great in the beautiful country,

Lucky not all dreamers, but I was lucky here!

Wonderful San Francisco, not a city, but a dream!

Misty and not close, beauty of Bay Bridge.

Here Hollywood sparkles in beautiful, bright sparkles,

And the "stars" lights on the world stage.

I remember America completely different...

Off the west bank washed by the wave of big ocean

What we call Quiet.

And while there is no deception, in which we all live!

I hope the story will turn a lie,

And all phantasmagoria the wind will blow!

ON THE WAY TO KRAKOW

Huge gray bird

We fly over the ground,

I can't sleep in flight

In flight, you are with me.

With me, my faithful friend,

With me, dear son.

How sad to live, probably

When completely alone.

Distances are not scary

Foreign language, country,

Would have a date

She is friendly!

Perhaps so made up

To connect us.

Two sisters, two Slavs

Dream to live together!

ISLAND OF LIBERTY

Sacred loyalty and friendship

And dedication to ideals.

No closer, more dear to us than Cuba,

She won a victory!

Victory over slave violence

And the onslaught of malice from outside,

Over colonial domination,

Those in power in the country.

As the Island of Liberty beckons us,

Mysterious land more fun and happier people

I have never met anywhere.

Lovers on Malecon,

More picturesque landscapes of all!

Here everything is in harmony:

And dancing, and rum, and laughter...

Life is complex and sometimes fleeting,

Go around a hundred lands

These names will live forever -

Marty, Che Guevara, Fidel!

UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY

I tore off two red poppies

At the foot of Toledo,

And gave my heart to the country

Under the bright blue sky.

The garden is fragrant in the Alhambra,

On the walls is lace knitting,

I feel happiness with a sinking heart

And go inside, praying...

There are two intertwined beliefs,

The palaces are built on a grand scale,

Mosques, temples are rushing up,

Praising God and Allah!

In the country of "flamenco" life is a joy,

Store the traditions of the centuries,

Seville, Cordoba, Granada

European Union touched lightly.

As a traveler, thirsty tormented,

I aspire to capture everything!

Madrid and a grove of oranges,

You managed to warm me up!
