Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gdy smutno mi la bamba
Gdy ciezko mi la bamba
wystarczy by zaswiecilo znow slonce
I po bezgwiezdnej nocy wstal wreszcie swit
Ech porywa porywa
Ech porywa porywa do tanca ten
Goracy rytm goracy rytm

Bamba la bamba Uuu Bamba la bamba

Choc nie jestem zeglarzem
Choc nie jestem zeglarzem
Sto morz i rzek przeplyne by zaspiewac ci

Bamba la bamba Bamba la bamba
Bamba la bamba la bamba la bamba
Na szare dni la bamba
I na zle sny la bamba
Zaufaj ze to naprawde mozliwe
To naprawde mozliwe wiec nie bron sie
Niech i ciebie porywa

Gdy smutno mi la bamba
Gdy ciezko mi la bamba
Wystarczy by zaswiecilo znow slonce
I po bezgwiezdnej nocy wstal wreszcie swit

Goracy rytm goracy rytm
