THE LOCOMOTIVE IN 50 LANGUAGES - JULIAN TUWIM

A locomotive stands at the station... words that every Pole knows. Julian Tuwim, when publishing his poem in 1936, did not suspect that this innocent poetic-linguistic game would permanently enter the history of our national literature and gain the status of a timeless masterpiece. The 'Locomotive' paradoxically does not need to be translated into other languages. Read aloud in Polish, it will be understandable to everyone, because its strength comes from the natural language of music (A. Nowakowski).
