Libelulas - Angelo Escobar

A heartfelt tribute to Polish legend Stanisław Sojka, who left us in August 2025. This English reimagination of Tolerancja preserves the reflective spirit of his 2016 performances, arranged with piano, acoustic guitar, warm electric bass, brushed drums, light ride cymbal touches, subtle tambourine shimmer, and violin swells. The result is a folk-rock ballad with jazz-inflected harmonies and a tender, soulful atmosphere — honoring a timeless voice of empathy and humanity.

For those who speak Polish and know the original, I ask for grace in the poetic liberties I’ve taken with the English lyrics. Every effort has been made to remain faithful to Sojka’s message, even as the words have been reshaped to sing naturally in another tongue.

[LYRICS]

Why don’t we speak of wounds that ache, in plain?
To build up walls around the heart’s in vain.
A gentle word, a hand upon my skin,
At times that’s all I crave, all I seek within

For mercy’s sake,
Life’s not a thing to only take.
Life’s not to drift in endless wait,
To truly live, your soul must dedicate.

Your cares and mine, our fights, the world’s affairs,
As hairs upon the head are numbered, so our days
Let the faultless be the first to cast the stone,
For far from Paradise is where they stand alone.

For mercy’s sake,
Life’s not a thing to only take.
Life’s not to drift in endless wait,
To truly live, your soul must dedicate.

Hoodoo Dust

[Verse 1]  
You wear your pain like a broken halo  
Shining dim but I still see your glow  
Every scar is a story untold  
Every lie is a love grown cold  

[Pre-Chorus]  
But I still feel you in my veins  
Every memory screams your name  
Even when the night is cruel  
I’m still a shadow over you  

[Chorus]  
Broken halo, falling slow  
But you’re still the light I know  
Broken halo, don’t let go  
We can heal the scars we show  

[Verse 2]  
Whispers echo in the midnight air  
Every tear is a silent prayer  
I can’t fix what the world has done  
But I’ll love you till the morning comes  

[Pre-Chorus]  
But I still feel you in my veins  
Every memory screams your name  
Even when the night is cruel  
I’m still a shadow over you  

[Chorus]  
Broken halo, falling slow  
But you’re still the light I know  
Broken halo, don’t let go  
We can heal the scars we show  

[Bridge]  
Take my hands, don’t be afraid  
We’re both sinners, both betrayed  
But in the ashes, we can rise  
Broken halos still can shine  

[Final Chorus]  
Broken halo, falling slow  
But you’re still the light I know  
Broken halo, don’t let go  
We can heal the scars we show
