Mala
Gacela & Villa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I zachwycił go jej wdzięk
Rytm jej tańca wciąż upajał
Go a jej czar budził lęk
I nim zorza zajaśniała
On sam oddał się w jej moc
Bo swym tańcem mu zabrała
Mała inez (mała inez)
Mała inez (mała inez)
Melodia rumby wciąż w uszach mu brzmi
Mała inez (mała inez)
Mała inez (mała inez)
A gdy zamilknie jest smutny i zły
O zatańcz jeszcze raz mambo
Zachwyca oczy twe tango
Przy rumbie twojej
O szczęściu roi
Więc nie odbieraj mu złud
Mała inez (mała inez)
Mała inez (mała inez)
Kubański rum i twa rumba to cud
Mała inez mała inez
Tu każdej nocy ktoś rumbę jej gra
Mała inez mała inez
Bo wielki urok jej rumba wciąż ma
Mała inez (mała inez)
Mała inez (mała inez)
Tu każdej nocy ktoś rumbę jej gra
Mała inez (mała inez)
Mała inez (mała inez)
Bo wielki urok jej rumba wciąż ma
Hawajczyk tańczy z rezerwą
A murzyn z ogniem i werwą
Ona zaś miękko
I naguteńko
Wiruje lekko jak mgła
Mała inez (mała inez)
Mała inez (mała inez)
Więc piją rum razem z rumbą do dna
Mała inez mała inez
Tu każdej nocy ktoś rumbę jej gra
Mała inez mała inez
Bo wielki urok jej rumba wciąż ma

Cuban rum and your rumba are a miracle
Tu każdej nocy ktoś rumbę jej gra
Here, every night someone plays her rumba
Bo wielki urok jej rumba wciąż ma
Because her rumba still has a great charm

The Hawaiian dances reservedly
A murzyn z ogniem i werwą
While the African dances with fire and energy
Ona zaś miękko
While she softly
I naguteńko
And gently
Wiruje lekko jak mgła
Whirls lightly like mist
Więc piją rum razem z rumbą do dna
So they drink rum together with rumba to the bottom
