Farben Lehre Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Czasami lepiej jest spać
W cieniu ogrodu dzikich traw
We śnie budować nowy świat
Czasami lepiej spać

Niech ci się przyśnią dzikie drzewa
Niech ci się przyśni kwiatów rój
Niech ci się przyśni leśny skrzat

Niech ci się przyśnię ja
Tylko zaśnij

Czasami lepiej jest spać
W cieniu ogrodu dzikich traw
We śnie budować nowy świat
Czasami lepiej spać

Niech ci się przyśni szklane słońce
Niech ci się przyśni pereł sznur
Niech ci się przyśni wielki ptak
Niech ci się przyśnię ja
Tylko zaśnij

Czasami lepiej jest spać
W cieniu ogrodu dzikich traw
We śnie budować nowy świat
Czasami lepiej spać

Niech ci się przyśni złote niebo
Niech ci się przyśni wyspa róż
Niech ci się przyśni cały świat

Niech ci się przyśnię ja
Tylko zaśnij
