Verse 1
Chciałbym powiedzieć ci
I'd like to tell you
Opisać cały ból
To describe all the pain
Przypomnieć wielkość chwil
To recall the greatness of moments
Używać małych słów
To use small words
Z każdym paznokciem twój
With every fingernail, yours
Przywoływałem śmiech
I summoned laughter
Nie mogłem krzyczeć już
I couldn't scream anymore
Omdlenie darem jest
Fainting is a gift
Prechorus 1

Verse 2
Szarość tak dumnie brzmi
Grayness sounds so proud
Warta każdego dnia
Worth every day
By stanąć obok nich
To stand next to them
Ratować ulic gwar
To save the clamor of the streets
Dobrze pamiętam plan
I remember the plan well
Choć tak odległy jest
Though it's so distant
Czy to że sił mi brak
Does my lack of strength
Zwiastuje koniec nas?
Foretell our end?
Prechorus 2

Chorus 1
Nie martw się proszę
Please don't worry
Wszystko skończy się
Everything will end
Prędzej i mocniej odwaga zabija mnie
Sooner and harder, courage kills me
Nic się nie stało
Nothing happened
Przecież dobrze wiesz
You know well
Oddałem wszystko
I gave everything
Żeby wszystko mieć
To have everything
Chorus 2
Nie martw się proszę
Please don't worry
Wszystko skończy się
Everything will end
Prędzej i mocniej odwaga zabija mnie
Sooner and harder, courage kills me
Nic się nie stało
Nothing happened
Przecież dobrze wiesz
You know well
Oddałem wszystko
I gave everything
Żeby wszystko mieć
To have everything

ZwiastujeHeralds / Foretells

Zwiastuje means 'heralds' or 'foretells'. It's a more formal and poetic word than common synonyms, suggesting a significant, often impending, event.

In the song, the lyric "Czy to że sił mi brak Zwiastuje koniec nas?" (Does the fact that I lack strength herald the end of us?) uses this word to add a dramatic and reflective tone, making the question of a relationship's demise feel profound and weighty. It's a word that evokes a sense of destiny or a turning point, making it quite memorable.

Have you ever felt like you had to keep going, even when you had no strength left? Dawid Podsiadło's powerful song "4:30" captures this exact feeling. The title itself is a hint, likely referencing the early morning hour when a great struggle began. The lyrics paint a picture of someone exhausted by a fight, remembering beautiful moments from the past while facing a painful present. He sings about wanting to describe his pain in simple words, feeling so tired that even fainting feels like a gift.

This song is a story of immense sacrifice. The chorus, "Please don't worry, everything will end / Sooner and stronger, courage is killing me," is incredibly moving. It speaks to the paradox of being brave when that very bravery is leading you to your end. The final lines, "I gave everything to have everything," reveal the ultimate sacrifice made for a cause, for freedom, or for a future he might not get to see. It’s a haunting and beautiful look at the human cost of fighting for what you believe in.
