Ross & Rachel
Ewa Farna Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Žili jsme vedle sebe a spolu ne
Svý smutky schovali jsme
Do láhví levnýho vína
Dobře, ale co jinak
Když něco tu je - a dost nás to přitahuje
Znáte možná ty dva z přátel
Být si tak blízko
To může být těžký

Běh po dlouhý trati
Anebo se ztratit
A jít sama pěšky

A možná jo, a možná ne a možná tohle
Tabu zlámu stejně jak Toblerone
Kousek ten klidně si vem, a to co zbývá
Schovám pro nás na šťastný konec

Byl jsi jak víra, že zítra bude den
Chvíle, kdy chováš se tak mile u sklenice vína
Na hraně i za hranou
Do žil mi stoupá
Že až teď jsem tě objevila

A možná jo, a možná ne a možná tohle
Tabu zlámu stejně jak Toblerone
Kousek ten klidně si vem, a to co zbývá
Schovám pro nás na šťastný konec
Zlámu jak Toblerone

A možná jo, a možná ne a možná tohle
Tabu zlámu
Kousek ten klidně si vem, a to co zbývá
Schovám pro nás

A možná jo, a možná ne a možná tohle
Tabu zlámu stejně jak Toblerone
Kousek ten klidně si vem, a to co zbývá

Schovám pro nás na šťastný konec
Tak na šťastný konec

It implies that the dynamics of their relationship can be difficult to navigate or maintain. The uncertainties in their connection are reflected in the repeated lines "maybe yes, maybe no, maybe this."

Žili jsme vedle sebe a spolu ne
We lived next to each other, but not together

Svý smutky schovali jsme
We hid our sorrows

Do láhví levnýho vína
In cheap wine bottles

Dobře, ale co jinak
Well, but what else

Když něco tu je - a dost nás to přitahuje
When something is here - and it attracts us enough

Znáte možná ty dva z přátel
You may know those two from Friends

Být si tak blízko
Being so close to each other

To může být těžký
It can be tough

Běh po dlouhý trati
A long-distance run

Anebo se ztratit
Or getting lost

A jít sama pěšky
And walk alone
