Na dłoni [English translation]

It escapes hands so easily

It continually flees, it disappears into the fog

And you want to have ownership of it

You want to lock it up

Stow it away from the world

Hide it like a treasure, your private treasure

Impossible

Because happiness is a fleeting guest

Happiness is a feather on a palm

That appears when it wants to

And when it is not being pursued

The more you have the more you want

You invent dust, you want to reach for the stars

But that's not it, not like this

And there's always something that we lack for happiness

We're always missing something, so greedily missing

Open your eyes

Happiness is that moment that lasts

Unsure of its beauty

It's the green of the trees, it's the laughter of children

The sun's setting and rising

So don't look into the distance

Because happiness is right next to us

In an ordinary day, in the fragrance of a house

Amid the clouds, in the silence of the grass

It's close to us, so close, so close...

Because happiness is a fleeting guest

A flicker of sunny weather

And you know a lot if you've understood that

Happiness is a fist full of water

Happiness is that moment that lasts

Happiness is a feather on a palm

That appears when it wants to

And when it is not being pursued
