***

Jesienny wiatr z liśćmi

codziennie tańczy walca.

Walca tańczą jak profesjonaliści,

choć co roku z wiatrem

tańczą inne liście.

Gdy nadchodzi zima,

liście zasypiają pod śnieżnym puchem,

i tak śpią, śpią i śnią o tańcu z wiatrem.

The autumn wind with leaves

daily dances the waltz.

They dance the waltz  like professionals,

But every year

the other leaves dance with the wind.

When winter comes,

the leaves are falling asleep

under the snow down,

and they sleep, sleep and

dream of dancing with the wind.
