Nie lubię [English translation]

I dislike when they call me by my name

When every other word they say is 'brother'.

I dislike when they pat my back

And smile shouting – 'long time!'

I dislike when they read my letters,

over shoulder deciphering their contents!

I dislike those, who think, that for everything

The best are lashes on a bowed neck.

I can't stand when they try to force me

I can't stand when they try to make me pity them

I can't stand when they walk all over me

Especially when they do it just to spit!

Can't stand the flies that feed on fresh blood

Can't stand the dogs tearing meat away!

Can't stand those with numb self certainty

Even when they choke on their pace!

I hate the helplessness,

With which the hunted look up the barrel of a gun!

I hate the bad coincidences that happen

When someone is about to achieve their goal.

I hate, hence, the unexplained causes,

I hate irremediable losses!

I hate to count unfulfilled wishes,

'fore my last is granted before I'm hanged.

I despise, when my call interrupts

In earpiece dry metallic thud.

I despise shots in the back of the head;

For salvo's in the air I only feel contempt.

I despise myself, when I cower,

When explanations I find for my villainy,

When I smile at those whom I serve

Whom with all my heart I hate!
