Kołobrzeżanka

Żaneta, praczka z Kołobrzegu
banknoty prała swoich kolegów,
cerowała kieszenie,
wybielała sumienie.
Aż sama wyszła, ech..., z obiegu


/ t.

Janette, laundress from Bridlington Bay,
washed her mates’ notes every day.
She patched up their pockets,
bleached sins from their lockets,
till she quietly faded away.

Translated with rhythm and mischief intact.
