warkoczyki masz jak pajęcze nitki
a noc jest taka długa
warkoczykiem oczu nie przesłonisz
gwiazy chodzą w okiennych framugach
a noc jest taka długa
warkoczykiem oczu nie przesłonisz
gwiazy chodzą w okiennych framugach

you have small braids like spider threads
and the night is so long
you cannot shield your eyes with a small braid
the stars walk in the window frames
and the night is so long
you cannot shield your eyes with a small braid
the stars walk in the window frames
