Marika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
W natłoku rzeczy gubię coś co od dawna czuję
Pytam się siebie czego naprawdę mi brakuje
Co czyni mnie mną właśnie
Chcę być tam gdzie mogę być tylko sobą
Chcę być tam gdzie widzę sens moich działań
Chcę być tam gdzie prawda to wartość stała
Tam gdzie słońce nad głową
Chcę mieć wolny wybór i wolną rękę
I tak po swojemu bawić się dźwiękiem
I też wiedzieć że drogę znajdę wszędzie
Nawet gdy drogi kręte
Nawet gdy drogi kręte
Wciąż posuwać się do przodu gdy wiatr w oczy wieje
Nie odcinać się od ludzi wiedzieć co się dzieje
Wciąż posuwać się do przodu gdy wiatr w czy wieje
Pozbyć się tych głupich strachów z których Ty się śmiejesz
Ja chcę
Wciąż posuwać się do przodu gdy wiatr w oczy wieje
Nie odcinać się od ludzi wiedzieć co się dzieje
Wciąż posuwać się do przodu gdy wiatr w czy wieje
Pozbyć się tych głupich strachów z których się śmiejesz
Ja chcę

Mam tysiąc rzeczy których wcale nie potrzebuję
I have a thousand things that I don't really need
W natłoku rzeczy gubię coś co od dawna czuję
In the rush of things, I lose something that I've been feeling for a long time
Pytam się siebie czego naprawdę mi brakuje
I ask myself what is really missing in my life
Co czyni mnie mną właśnie
What makes me who I am
Chcę być tam gdzie mogę być tylko sobą
I want to be where I can be myself
Chcę być tam gdzie widzę sens moich działań
I want to be where I see the purpose of my actions
Chcę być tam gdzie prawda to wartość stała
I want to be where truth is a constant value
Tam gdzie słońce nad głową
Where the sun is shining over my head
Chcę mieć wolny wybór i wolną rękę
I want to have a free choice and a free hand
I tak po swojemu bawić się dźwiękiem
To play with sound in my own way
I też wiedzieć że drogę znajdę wszędzie
And also to know that I will find the way everywhere
Nawet gdy drogi kręte
Even when the roads are windy
Wciąż posuwać się do przodu gdy wiatr w oczy wieje
Always move forward when the wind is blowing in my eyes
Nie odcinać się od ludzi wiedzieć co się dzieje
Not to isolate myself from people, to know what is going on
Pozbyć się tych głupich strachów z których Ty się śmiejesz
To get rid of those silly fears that you laugh at
Ja chcę
I want to
