Żal mi tamtych nocy i dni
Beata Kozidrak Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Płyniemy po słodki grzech
Wielką łodzią z białym lnem
Póki słońce
Śpi na plaży

Uczymy się patrzeć tak
By pamiętać kolor traw
Każdy szczegół

Tej wyprawy

Niegdy nie widziałam takich plaż
Nigdy nie zapomnę Twoich oczu

Żal mi tamtych nocy I dni
W ogniu Twoich rąk
Nieznany dziki ląd
Czy wiesz
Może to
Była miłość

Trzy dni których nigdy dość
Cztery noce których żar
Jeszcze dzisiaj
Mam na twarzy

Niegdy nie widziałam takich plaż
Nigdy nie zapomnę Twoich oczu

Żal mi tamtych nocy I dni
W ogniu Twoich rąk
Nieznany dziki ląd
Czy wiesz

Może to
Była miłość
