Toss a Coin to Your Witcher (Polish to English Translation)
Polish Lyrics with English Translation
Tę balladę wam śpiewa
This ballad is sung to you
Skromny bard,
By a humble bard,
Co z Geraltem z Rivii
Who with Geralt of Rivia
Wyruszył na szlak
Set out on the trail.
Diaboła spotkał tam,
He met a devil there,
Szukał z nim zwady,
Looking for trouble with him,
Z elfów hufcami
With bands of elves,
Urządzał biesiady
He held feasts.
Pochwycili mnie,
They captured me,
Podstępem, no bo jak!
By trickery, of course!
Zniszczyli mi lutnię,
They destroyed my lute,
Skopali jak psa!
Kicked me like a dog!
Ciała nasze dźgał
Our bodies were stabbed
Ten rogaty stwór,
By that horned beast,
Zapłakał nasz wiedźmin,
Our witcher cried,
“Mam dosyć już!"
"I’ve had enough!”
Grosza daj Wiedźminowi,
Toss a coin to your witcher,
Sakiewką potrząśnij,
Shake your purse,
Sakiewką potrząśnij,
Shake your purse,
Ło, o, o!
Whoa, oh, oh!
Grosza daj Wiedźminowi,
Toss a coin to your witcher,
Sakiewką potrząśnij!
Shake your purse!
Lecz chwycił Biały Wilk,
But the White Wolf grabbed,
Za morderczy róg,
The murderous horn,
Co tylu już przed nim
That had felled so many before him,
Obalił był z nóg
Knocking them to the ground.
Elfy cisnął precz,
He cast the elves aside,
Aż na górski szczyt,
Up to the mountain peak,
Daleko od ludzi,
Far away from people,
Gdzie miejsce ich
Where they belong.
Choć oberwał sam
Though he was struck himself,
Zmiażdżył bestii kark,
He crushed the beast’s neck.
Ten obrońca ludzkości,
This defender of mankind
Toastu jest wart
Is worth a toast.
Oto moja pieśń,
This is my song,
To wasz bohater jest,
This is your hero,
On wrogów pokonał,
He defeated the foes,
Nalejcie mu więc!
So pour him a drink!
Grosza daj Wiedźminowi,
Toss a coin to your witcher,
Sakiewką potrząśnij,
Shake your purse,
Sakiewką potrząśnij,
Shake your purse,
Ło, o, o!
Whoa, oh, oh!
Grosza daj Wiedźminowi,
Toss a coin to your witcher,
Obrońcy ludzkości!
Defender of mankind!
Grosza daj Wiedźminowi,
Toss a coin to your witcher,
Sakiewką potrząśnij,
Shake your purse,
Sakiewką potrząśnij,
Shake your purse,
Ło, o, o!
Whoa, oh, oh!
Grosza daj Wiedźminowi,
Toss a coin to your witcher,
Obrońcy ludzkości!
Defender of mankind!
