PRO8L3M - W domach z betonu (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
Today I turn five, mum and I are making sandwiches
Aunt Jadwisia is coming, I'll get a teddy bear and three toy cars
Grandmas will be coming soon, mum like always is shouting "Put on your slippers and underwear!"
She's got almost no strength left, but she'll still read me to sleep if I ask her nicely
I don't like putting the clothes on, I'd rather run around, so I'm running around naked
Mum's shouting "Darn! Don't make me angry right now", I don't wanna keep playing by myself
I like dumplings, I sing songs in my own words
And i like hot dogs, my Dad always makes the best ones
Mum's hair has fallen out, I'm running straight ahead, the stick an imagined sniper rifle
They're all saying nothing else can be done, but when something breaks dad can always fix it
My bike has Reksio on the frame, today I'll show Mum I can ride it with no hands
I have a scar on my knee from when a glass pane from the wall unit had fallen on me
Grandma paid 2,000 zl for a Turbo bubble gum with a red Diablo
I'm not gonna repeat what dad said he would do to the red knaves
Mum is crying and is talking with Dad, he's hugging her tightly
I'm watching them and just like Dad - always do same as him

[Chorus]
You won't find free love in the concrete houses
You won't find free love in the concrete houses

[Verse 2]
I'm playing with my friends, our hands black as coal
Our toy cars are all similar, as are our clothes and furniture
Mum is no longer with us, I don't have one of my top teeth
When everybody was crying, I just wanted to play, because she's up in heaven now after all
I'm supposed to be praying every night before bed
So I am praying sometimes, but Mum - she'll do it for me if I'd rather do something else
I'm going out for a walk with Grandma, we're having cheese and cream for breakfast
Dad's saying that we'll be all going for the holiday together, but tonight I'll be staying at hers
The adults all have their own things to do and nobody's paying attention to me
I have a toy firetruck, the paint has started to come off
I'm watching Tsubasa's adventures on TV, he can handle anything
When the ghosts grab me by the heart, I don't tell anybody
Instead I curl up on the duvet and lose them once again
Dad and I are waiting in a queue, I wanna go home already
He picks me up and says to me
"This is not the time nor place for crying", surrounding us are concrete blocks of flats
