About Me:
sidewalks of Buenos Aires
a several million immigrants
from Italy and Spain
German, French, Jews of Eastern Europe...
slaves imported the previous century
descendants of Black Africa to the West Indies
the Caribbean and a part of the Latin American
mingle with the local population miserable
"Well my mouth said:
don't cry don't cry don't cry"
Back to the Blues - Back to the Tango
on the southern outskirts of the city
in huge slums
on street corners
flute, guitar, some mandolin
all the rhythms and melodies of Europe
Black orillas and the Cuban habanera...
"Well my mouth said:
don't cry don't cry don't cry"
Back to the Blues - Back to the Tango
in the suburbs and in areas notorious port
and slaughterhouses of Buenos Aires
the moste of the population is male
men dance among themselves
they spend the night to drink
accompanied by the bad reputation girls
so rare and so precius
"Well my mouth said:
don't cry don't cry don't cry
Back to the Blues - Back to the Tango
traditional dances from around the world
between the sounds of old pianos; small orchestras
with improvised piano, violin and guitar
new figures while imitating for pastiche
dances picaresque
"Well my mouth said:
don't cry don't cry don't cry"
back to the Blues - back to the Tango
the seduction and the sexual act
express their machismo and virility
feelings of exile and nostalgia
their sentences
and their heart desires unsatisfied
true style of music and dance
the tango is born
"Well my mouth said:
don't cry don't cry don't cry
but my eyes, they don't have ears"

The Polonaise-Fantaisie
in the falling mist of the April morning
the just married couple is proudly leading the procession
lets start the Polonaise !
with the rarely seen lightness
Dabrowskis Mazurka along with Chopins funeral march
doing graceful pirouettes
you have seen them!
how beautiful are they??!
they are perfect match!
they look as they forgot about death
look at their outfits!
yes,yes,I can see it.
they are wearing God,Honour and their Homeland
for centuries
we can hear giggling of amused wedding guests
at the ball for our and your freedom
the only witnesses are Tree forests of Smolensk
hum tunes on their own note :
"Russia is our sacred power"...
dear passer-by,Remember,that the Polish dream
about great and freed Homeland
is buried just here ..

Wodnik
jestem wodą górskiego strumienia
kótry opływa milczące kamienie
oniemiałe uporem z jakim podążam ku morzu
czasem naiwna, daję się wykorzystać
obietnicą złożoną w objęciach nadziei
lecz nie na dlugo
potrafię uciec z zaborczych ramion
flirtujac ze słońcem na drodze ku wolności
jestem powietrzem
roztańczonym na balu jesiennych liści
wystrojonym w czerwony kolor szminki
jestem miłością
od pierwszego do ostatniego pocałunku
w oczekiwaniu na nastepny
na wydmach minionego lata
jestem wodą, powietrzem - jestem życiem
AQUARIUS
I am the water of mountain stream
Which runs around the slient stones
Stunned by my persistance of swimming towards the sea
Sometimes innocent, I let be used
By the promise made in the arms of hope
But not for long
I can escape the jealous arms
Flirting with the sun on the way to freedom
I am the air
Dancing at the Autumn Leaves Ball
Dressed up in the red colour of lipstick
I am the love
From the first to the last kiss
Waiting for another
On the sands of last summer
I am water,air, I am life
