Tak Blisko Ciebie
De Mono Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tak daleko, daleko
Tak daleko stąd
Tak daleko, daleko
Będzie teraz twój dom
Tak daleko, daleko ...
Weź sobie kawałek mojej białej koszuli
Skrawek materiału zaznaczony pocałunkiem
Będziesz go mogła do siebie przytulić

Kiedy rozstaniemy się na dłużej
Tak daleko, daleko ...

Ja od ciebie dostanę kawałek sukienki
Tę którą najbardziej ze wszystkich kochałem
Skrawek materiału w kolorze zieleni
Którym mnie przykrywałaś
Kiedy przy tobie spałem

Którym mnie przykrywałaś
Kiedy przy tobie spałem
I kiedy nam jeszcze trochę czasu zostanie
Zabierzemy jeszcze kilka przedmiotów
Czy jesteś gotowa na to długie rozstanie

Ja nie jestem jeszcze gotów
Nie jestem jeszcze gotów

Overall Meaning

The song “Tak Blisko Ciebie” by De Mono is a beautiful and emotional ballad about the pain and sadness of lovers who are separated by distance. The opening lines set the mood perfectly with the repeated phrase, “Tak daleko, daleko,” which translates to “So far, far away.” The singer is lamenting the fact that he/she is so far away from their loved one and that their home is so distant. This distance is causing pain and sorrow, as they must say goodbye for a long time.

The lyrics then move on to a touching scene where the singer and their loved one exchange items of clothing as a reminder of each other. The singer offers a piece of their white shirt, marked with a kiss, for their lover to hold on to while they are apart. In return, the lover gives the singer a piece of their green dress, which reminds them of the good times they had together.

The chorus repeats the theme of distance and the pain that comes with it, making this a very sad yet beautiful song. The final lines indicate that the singer is not yet ready for the separation and is desperately trying to grasp on to any remaining time they have together.
