Lyrical Dialogue, Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński

-Tell me how you love me.

-I’ll tell you.

-So?

-I love you in the  summer. And in  candle light.

I love you in a hat and in a beret.

In strong wind,  in the street  and at the concert.

In lilac trees  and in birches,  in raspberies and in maple trees.

And when you sleep. And when you work.

And when you break egg shell beautifully -

Even when you drop the spoon.

In a taxi-cab. And in a car. Without exception.

Even when you comb your hair.

In danger. And on a merry-go-round.

In the sea. In the mountains. In rubber shoes. And barefoot.

Today. Yesterday. And tomorrow. Day and night.

In spring, when a swallow flies.

-In summer, how do you love me?

-Even when a moth flies.

- What about autumn, when it’s cloudy?

-Even when you lose your umbrella.

-What about winter? When it  paints windows silver?

-In winter I love you like cheerful fire.

Close to your heart and around it.

And there is snow outside,

And there are crows in the snow…
