Title	Zabierasz ludziâ€¦
Text Submitted by Aneta B.	Source language: Polish Zabierasz ludzi Przez tysiÄ…ce Å‚ez ludzkich mÃ³wisz do nas Panie W obrazach cierpienia pokazujesz Siebie Malujesz Å¼ycie w rÃ³Å¼nych odcieniach Po dziwnych Å›cieÅ¼kach nas wiedziesz Uczysz nas mÄ…droÅ›ci po swojemu A w prostych sÅ‚owach kryjesz Swe tajemnice Zabierasz ludzi ktÃ³rzy nam tyle dali Nie moÅ¼emy zdaÄ‡ siÄ™ na nich
Remarks about the translation	British English

Title	You take away the people
Translation English Translated by AleksanderS	Target language: English You take away the people Through the tears of thousands of people you speak to us, Lord In pictures of torments you show Yourself You paint life in various color shades Strange are the paths You lead us through You teach us wisdom Your way And you hide Your secrets behind simple words You take away those who have given us so much We can't lean on them now
Remarks about the translation	lean/rely/depend

	AleksanderS Number of messages: 17	One more to consider: "lean on" "We can't lean on them now" Actually, I'm also tempted to rebuild this line completely, but that would affect the Polish version, too. "Who shall we lean on when they're gone?"

	Aneta B. Number of messages: 4487	"lean on"! - Great shot! Even if is not a translation word by word, Alexander, I really like the second proposal of yours. It precisely conveys the meaning of the last line...
