Do you remember our (last) rendez-vous?

1
Do you remember our last rendez-vous2?
In an empty bar someone was playing a sad tango.
I was looking into your eyes with fear, holding my breath,
sensing the sentence3 that would take you away from me forever.
 
While the melody went on, you uttered a few short words:
'This is the end, I must be going, farewell'.
Do you remember our last rendez-vous,
the sad finale of the most beautiful of my past dreams?

• 1. On various websites, the title in some cases includes the word „ostatnie” ('last'), sometimes not. I’m not sure which version is the official one.
• 2. French for 'a date' (a romantic meeting).
• 3. Here meaning a verdict, a judgment or a decision, but also being a kind of a word play (absent in the Polish original) on the 'few short words' she says in the next stanza.

In Love

I’m in love with you,
as if I knew you for years,
as if the whole bright world
bloomed with happiness just for us.
 
Nothing will ever change in me:
every night and every day it’s you.
With your shadow you’ve outshined
the best dreams.
 
What more should I want?
In your eyes there shines a stretch of blue,
and the sunshine therein will last
through all the rainy days.
 
This is an unfathomable problem:
I don’t even know why and how
I’m in love with you
more than words can say.

Autumn Mists

Look: wilted petals have fallen off our roses.
Look: time can destroy everything.
The bygone days will return no more.
The autumn mists have enveloped us.
 
Look: there are no longer leaves on the tree branches.
Look: first snow will fall pretty soon.
Time flies, making life’s moments pass fast, too
