Description
Sometimes all you need to do is stop being silent and let a word or a touch break down the concrete walls around you. After all, life is not about holding grudges or keeping your distance, but about being able to share yourself, even when it's scary. These lines express a simple truth: to live is to give, and only then can there be room for true warmth.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Dlaczego nie mówimy o tym, co nas boli otwarcie?
Budowa ściany wokół siebie marna sztuka.
Wrażliwe słowo, czuły dotyk wystarczą.
Czasami tylko tego pragnę, tego szukam.
Na miły Bóg, życie nie tylko po to jest, by brać.
Życie nie po to, by bezczynnie trwać.
I aby żyć, siebie samego trzeba dać.
Problemy twoje, moje, nasze, boje, polityka.
A przecież każdy włos jak nasze lata policzony.
Kto jest bez winy, niechaj pierwszy rzuci kamień.
Niech rzuci.
Daleko raj, gdy na człowieka się zamyka.
Na miły Bóg, życie nie tylko po to jest, by brać.
Życie nie po to, by bezczynnie trwać.
I aby żyć, siebie samego trzeba dać.
Na miły Bóg, życie nie tylko po to jest, by brać.
Życie nie po to, by bezczynnie trwać.
I aby żyć, siebie samego trzeba dać.
Na miły Bóg, życie nie tylko po to jest, by brać.
Życie nie po to, by bezczynnie trwać.
I aby żyć, siebie samego trzeba dać.
Tu tu tu tu tu. Tu tu tu tu tu.
Tu tu tu tu tu.
Tu tu tu tu tu.
English translation
Why don't we talk about what hurts us openly?
Building a wall around yourself is a poor art.
A sensitive word, a tender touch will be enough.
Sometimes that's all I want, that's what I'm looking for.
Dear God, life is not only about taking.
Life is not meant to be idle.
And to live, you have to give yourself.
Your problems, mine, ours, fights, politics.
And yet every hair, like our years, is numbered.
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
Let him throw it.
Far from paradise when it closes itself to humans.
Dear God, life is not only about taking.
Life is not meant to be idle.
And to live, you have to give yourself.
Dear God, life is not only about taking.
Life is not meant to be idle.
And to live, you have to give yourself.
Dear God, life is not only about taking.
Life is not meant to be idle.
And to live, you have to give yourself.
Here here here here. Here here here here.
Here here here here.
Here here here here.
