The lyrics are about a lost love, a woman who lived in a house near the Wisla river, the longest river in Poland, and with whom the singer had a relationship. The song describes his memories of her, and her importance in his life even after they parted ways. The singer still loves her as much as he loves Ireland (a comparison that is often used in Polish culture to describe a great affection). However, he also suggests that their relationship was not without its problems and that he may have acted awkwardly or caused problems.

The first verse of the song suggests that the woman he loves lived in a house near the Wisla river. Interestingly, "Wisla" is also the name of a popular Polish TV series about a family living in a similar location. The singer then remembers the "bliskosc" (closeness) of her "czarne oczy" (black eyes) which suggests she had a powerful and captivating gaze. The chorus then repeats the phrase "A ty sie temu nie dziwisz, wiesz dobrze, co bylo by dalej" (And you're not surprised by this, you know well what would have happened) sings in a lamenting tone, suggesting that while he still loves her, she may have had valid reasons for leaving him.

The lyrics refer to the idea of love being uncertain and the singer has to carry the pain of their past relationship as he travels through different parts of Poland. The lyrics demonstrate that their love was intense and passionate but fraught with challenges, which gives the song a melancholic tone. The song's final lines suggest that the singer is asking her for forgiveness, indicating that his actions may have led to their breakup.
