Smak i zapach pomarańczy [English translation]

Who’s rushing so across the city?

For whom the streets are too narrow?

I’m running, biting at an orange;

the Earth is dancing beneath my feet.

I’m running, biting at an orange;

the Earth is dancing beneath my feet.

Tararam tararam tararam ...

All around life is thriving

and I’m feeling great as well.

Everyone has1 bright eyes

and the sidewalks are too narrow.

Everyone has bright eyes,

and the sidewalks are too narrow.

Tararam tararam tararam...

Lime trees have a stunning smell,

and my beard grows quietly.

The evening overflows with girls;

maybe there’s a romance out there for me?

The evening overflows with girls;

maybe there’s a romance out there for me?

Tararam tararam tararam ...

I like it when it’s Saturday,

and all troubles are behind me.

I like singing, I like dancing,

I like the smell of oranges2.

I like singing, I like dancing,

I like the smell of oranges.

Tararam tararam tararam ...

1. lit. "carries"2. The Polish word "pomarańczy" is the genitive of both "an orange" (singular) and "oranges" (plural). Both could be applicable here but on second thoughts I've decided on the plural form.
