East
Goya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Odkąd zabrał Cię
złego losu gniew,
w samotności trwam
wpatrozna w drugi brzeg.

Liczę każdy wschód,
może jutro już
wrócisz tu, a ja
w oknie będę stać.


Przyrzekam, poczekam
Nie zwlekaj, bo czekam

Przyrzekam, poczekam
Nie zwlekaj, bo czekam


Razem z Tobą znikł,
zapach kwiatów mych;
nawet księżyc lśni
jakby mu brakło sił.

Wieczorami przed snem
cicho modlę się,
by następny dzień
do mnie przywiódł Cię.


Przyrzekam, poczekam
Nie zwlekaj, bo czekam

Przyrzekam, poczekam
Nie zwlekaj, bo czekam

Przyrzekam, poczekam
Nie zwlekaj, bo czekam





Przyrzekam, poczekam
Nie zwlekaj, bo czekam
