La Cumparsita
Justyna Steczkowska Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

jeszcze tango dzwieczy w uszach,
tango nie daje mi spokoju.
wracaja razem z nim odlegle dni,
najlepsze dni we dwoje.

jeszcze gra i dzwieczy w uszach
tango co burzy spokój w nas...
a kiedy tango gra, wraca dawny czas

milosci co laczyla nas

dobrze wiem, ze slyszysz je
i tak jak ja wspominasz slodkie chwile
kiedy tanczyles tango
w ramionach tulac mnie.

kazdym razem gdy powraca
mysle o milosci naszej.
jak podarunek z dawnych dni
powraca tango do nas
i znów gra nam dalej chociaz dzis
nie ma cie tu.

wiem, ze ty tez wspominasz czas milosci

i tango gdy z czuloscia szeptales:
"kocham cie"
