Krwawa Jesień [English translation]

[Verse 1]

I left everything I had

I threw the dice, now I have to come to the conclusion myself

I ran off into Poland, I'm foreign, but I know those guys over here

So I hide my valuables as if the tax officer was already at my doors

I feel a confrontation coming, it's one of my sixth senses

At night the Cassino is full of madmen and terrorists

Maybe they'll kill me? Those territories are full of young boys

Who sharpen their knives and lie that they've been taught by Jesus Christ

Stars burn on the sky

You know how the saying goes. There's no place like the night1

Raging brute asks me if I support Lechia

Just in case I make an "L" sign - "dude, of course!"

They say "Wrong club, buddy, better piss off or I'll fuck you up"2

I asked "Do we really need those divides?"

Just like you. Give me a sign and I'll run towards you

Because I can feel that I need different women, that's for sure

[Bridge]

Help my heart sometimes, when my blood pressure surges

Play Beatles' "Rubber Soul" for me, and be generous with the bass

I'll be a fat globe for you, you can be my Atlas

Be a cuckoo during spring, because I'm going crazy flying over the nest3

[Chorus]

There's a bloody autumn brewing for me4

Hunger in my heart, but my right pocket keeps getting fatter

It'll probably be better for all of you if I suddenly die, huh?

Million weird passerby nod in agreement

Time ravages a hole, the wound will grow larger with time

That's where the cold comes from, I feel the whirlwind that's building up in me

Passenger's5 eyeballs are made of stone, like a lion's

I see them among the foolish passerby

[Verse 2]

I spent a week at Hotel Marble...6 I think

There's no certainty, they tell me I've been sleeping badly

Now I'm alone again, the isolation will do me some good

What was the Co-passenger5 supposed to do? Well, I can't blame the guy

But I feel fear, that has clutched strongly onto my heart

If he died, I'd flinch up until the funeral is over

When he runs out of oxygen and falls asleep, I'll write him a lament

Rumak7 will do the sound, and we'll win a Fryderyk8 with it

My anxiety raised with the "Hotel California" I was dedicated9

I feel in Marble as if a large part of my ego burst

Zero technology, like an animal in captivity, and yet

Pain brings inspiration, so I think I want misery myself

And I can hear the third part of b-moll 35 everywhere

Everyone keeps saying "Dude come one... haven't you had enough fights?"

Carpe sadness10, I think that's the credo I have to follow now

So I keep walking at night, goodbye, peace out and see ya

[Bridge]

Help my heart sometimes, when my blood pressure surges

Play Beatles' "Abbey Road" for me, and be generous with the bass

Pour a glass of liquor and I'll jump into the pool

Don't worry about the money, I'll go on a tour once we run out

[Chorus]

There's a bloody autumn brewing for me4

Hunger in my heart, but my right pocket keeps getting fatter

It'll probably be better for all of you if I suddenly die, huh?

Million weird passerby nod in agreement

Time ravages a hole, the wound will grow larger with time

That's where the cold comes from, I feel the whirlwind that's building up in me

Passenger's5 eyeballs are made of stone, like a lion's

I see them among the foolish passerby

[Verse 3]

I ran away from Warsaw, because the lack of inspiration was troubling me too much

And the sympathizers keep writing "We want some fresh rap!"

I don't write or say anything, I'm like a mute man

Morning sky indicates signs of gangrene

Black and red, because a nasty aurora took it over

Bruised as if the devil spit in god's tarot cards

I'm looking for a fight, because at first it gives you blood, blood, blood...

And after the blood it gives you brilliant prose

I have to put that prose on paper... In the right time

I don't want to worry about someone else's watch

Walking lively. I'm sipping on a bad Kadarka11

I hunger for a confrontation, I keep following a buff guy

I'll prove to them, and mostly to myself, that I'm an alpha

Flash in the eye, as if I grew a flashlight in my head

This huge guy suddenly asks me if I'm pro Arka12

Swiftly beat me up, the lights go off as if my eyes were dead

[Bridge]

Help my heart sometimes, when I do some weird things

Play "Hotel California" for me, be careful with the bass

It will heal before my wedding13, give me a sleeping pill

And in exchange I'll give you a golden ring with a diamond rock

[Outro]

Szcześniak?!14

There's a bloody autumn brewing for me

Christ! Who messed you up this badly?

There's a bloody autumn brewing for me

Sir, you're bleeding

No, no, those are leaves, autumn leaves

Oh... I'll lead you to your room

Beautiful Polish autumn, do you know how gorgeous it must be in Warsaw right now?

Yes, yes of course, here

Thank you for helping me, sir. You know, sometimes I don't judge people very well

Lay down please, maybe you'll dream about this Warsaw of yours

1. Play on the "There's no place like home" saying. In Polish it translates literally as "Every place is good but home is best"2. Lechia and Legia are two large rivaling football clubs in Poland. The "L" is a common sign for Legia fans but Taco mistakenly uses it here. Most likely because he's used to using it in Warsaw where most people support Legia, whereas in this song he's currently in the Tricity area that has more Lechia fans3. Reference to movie "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest"4. a. b. Taco had a tour in autumn that had the first and final concerts in Kraków and Warsaw. The "krwawa"(bloody) might be a reference to those (KRaków, WArszaWA)5. a. b. c. "Passenger" is a reoccurring character from this album6. Fictional hotel that the entire album's plot is based around.7. Producer of some of Taco's songs8. Polish music award9. Reference to "Żyrandol" from the same album10. Instead of "carpe diem" seize the day, Taco changes it to "carpe sadness" seize the sadness11. Type of wine. "Zły" can translate to both "bad" and "evil"12. Arka Gdynia, another football club from the Tricity area13. Polish saying that simply means "the wound will heal quickly"14. Filip Szcześniak, Taco
