Znamy moc tajemną
Duchów i upiorów
Mamy wielką władzę
Nie lubimy sporów
Więc nie wzbraniaj się głośno
Nie zamykaj drzwi
Jeśli dasz cukierka
Nie będziemy się mścić.
We know the power of the secret
Ghosts and ghouls
We have great power
We do not like disputes
So not refuse too loud
Do not close the door
If you give candy
We will not retaliate
❈
Będziemy Was straszyć
Duchami i zmorami.
Bośmy łącznikami z tamtymi stworami.
Jeśli więc nie chcecie złych strachów w swoim domu,
Musicie nas przekupić, kilkoma cukierkami!
We will keep scaring you
with ghosts and nightmares.
For we are connectors with those creatures.
So if you do not want bad Fears in your home,
You have to bribe us with some candy!
❈
W noc Halloween strzeż się
i amulet swój miej.
Jeśli ducha zobaczysz, to czym prędzej wiej!
I dynię pocałuj, bo dynia to znak,
Że Ty z duchami jesteś za pan brat!
On the night of Halloween beware
and keep your amulet.
If you see the spirit, ran away as soon as possible!
And kiss the pumpkin, because pumpkin is a sign
That you are friends with the spirits!
Do następnego razu… (Till next time…)

My name is Kasia Scontsas. I grew near Lublin, Poland and moved to Warsaw to study International Business. I have passion for languages: any languages! Currently I live in New Hampshire. I enjoy skiing, kayaking, biking and paddle boarding. My husband speaks a little Polish, but our daughters are fluent in it! I wanted to make sure that they can communicate with their Polish relatives in our native language. Teaching them Polish since they were born was the best thing I could have given them!
I have been writing about learning Polish language and culture for Transparent Language’s Polish Blog since 2010.
