If you can get your hands on a translation by Michael Kandel, you should read that. He translated directly from Polish, sometimes even spoke directly with Lem regarding his translation, and I'm told he did a pretty good job with Lem's books.

Agreed! Michael Kandel is an astoundingly great translator. He translated Cyberiad, including these poems by the electronic bard:
