Jak sie Wam podoba ponizszy cytat?
Slezan - tekst o Slazakach, a wiesz skad pochodzi?
FORBIDDEN IDENTITY
Oh why do you worry so about my identity
I know that I'm not Polish or German or Czech
I'm rather like a Silesian....
But not really you see
And when the Polish want to claim me as one of their kind
You beg me to listen to something that should be stirring inside
Something that runs deep and poignant
Like a common memory
Is it the elusive and haunting image I sometimes think I see,
Or the whisper of peoples' voices gently calling out to me
Wait, visions of the past seem to be forming in my mind
And I find myself experiencing the hopes and dreams of many lifetimes
Instinctively I know these faces belong to me,
For I see so many things in them that I also see in me
Suddenly I feel the loss and pain of a heritage
Forcibly taken from the generations before me
And I know mow that no man can keep me
From reaching back and reclaiming that forbidden ancestry
Stunned with this awareness, I quickly pull away,
Too filled with emotion to turn around and stay
Yes, I do see, I finally understand
This is my place in history, my inheritance
This is who I am
