Suwalskie Bolero
Dorota Miśkiewicz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Co za noc – jeziora lod i mgla;
Co za noc – tancerz i ja!
Lubie takie gry,
Lubie taki stan;
Przede wszystkim, gdy
Poludniowy pan
W sylwestrowa noc
Gdzies w suwalskie mgly;
Lecz w tym cala rzecz,
Ze o nim dowiem sie dopiero,
Kiedy sie spelni wrozba z kart:
"Warszawa Wschodnia, drugi peron...
Gosc z biletem – tanca wart..."
Czekam wiec na list
Albo sms:
"Jutro... Warsaw-East..."
Ale jest jak jest.
Ciagle wroze z kart,
Podroz albo zart –
Lecz w tym problem tkwi,
Ze to wyjasni sie dopiero,
Kiedy sie spelni wrozby cud:
"Warszawa Wschodnia, drugi peron...
Suwalk czar i jezior lod..."
Bo tak bym chciala z caballero
Zatanczyc na jeziora szkle
W suwalskich lyzwach to bolero,
Ktore juz tanczylam w snie;
Snie o podrozy nad jeziora,
W ktorych milosny zamarzl zar...
Poczekam jeszcze do wieczora
I wywroze sobie z kart –
Taka noc – jeziora lod i mgle;
Taka noc – jego i mnie.
Taka noc – jeziora lod i mgle;
Taka noc – ciebie i mnie.
In the song "Suwalskie Bolero" by Dorota Miśkiewicz, the singer describes a night spent with a dancer out in the Suwałki region, located in northeastern Poland. The setting is described as being cold and misty, with frozen lakes, and yet the singer is having a great time with their partner. The singer explains that they enjoy such nights and the feeling of being in the presence of their romantic partner. They enjoy playing games, but most of all, they enjoy the company of their partner, who takes them away on an adventure in the Suwałki mist.
The reference to the cards suggests that the singer is attempting to read their future through a fortune-telling game. They are hopeful that their fortune will lead them to a reunion with their partner, and the journey will take them to the Warsaw East railway station, where they can join their partner to dance to the "Suwalskie Bolero" on the frozen lake. The singer continues to wait for a message from their partner, hoping to learn more about their whereabouts and their next meeting. Despite the uncertainty, the singer is optimistic and continues to dream about their partner and the adventures they could have.
