"Życie jest trudne."

Translation: Life is difficult.

[HelbentForleder]

Life is brutal!

[mihxal]

"... and full of zasadzkas"

[tadjanow]

"...and sometimes gives a kopas w d*pas"

[MichaelKor436367]

Is that a Polish swear?! Teach me so I can properly communicate with the hip, young Poles.

[Jellei]

Well, that's basically it: "Life is brutal and full of zasadzkas and sometimes kopas w dupas" (half Polish, half English for "Life is brutal and full of ambushes and sometimes kicks in the... buttocks).

I don't really know where it originated, but that's a very popular line among the young people. It has been known for at least 10 years, I guess.

Przyszedłem tu za to... I nie zawiodłem się.

"Po to tu przyszedłem... i nie zawiodłem się."

Ostatni krzyk, łabędzia nuta

I dalej nic w teatrze lalek

Ogólnie mówiąc - life is brutal

Poza tym wszystko doskonale

Much like the pavement.

[Jellei]

'trudne' doesn't have the double meaning that 'hard' has. It only has the 'difficult' meaning. 'complicated', maybe.

[Yola448704]

Much like heavy weights in Polish.

trudne / ciężkie - difficult / hard
