How to pronounce a polish poem

Hello fellow forum members. My son's school is having a Nationality Day. One of the students pick a poem by Wisława Szymborska titled Świat umieliśmy kiedyś..........

She is having difficulty reciting it and wanted for me to translate it phonetically for her. I am having difficulties myself since my Polish is somewhat weak and figured to ask the wonderful members here on the forum.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. :)


Świat umieliśmy kiedyś…


Świat umieliśmy kiedyś na wyrywki:
- był tak mały, że się mieścił w uścisku dwu rąk,
tak łatwy, że się dawał opisać uśmiechem,
tak zwykły, jak w modlitwie echo starych prawd



Nie witała historia zwycięską fanfarą:
- sypnęła w oczy brudny piach.
Przed nami były drogi dalekie i ślepe,
zatrute studnie, gorzki chleb.



Nasz łup wojenny to wiedza o świecie:
- jest tak wielki, że się mieści w uścisku dwu rąk,
tak trudny, że się daje opisać uśmiechem,
tak dziwny, jak w modlitwie echo starych prawd.

Hi Ping, it’s too late I know. I’m new here and I saw you post too late. Still I recorded the sample, maybe next time I can do it on time :)
