Życzenie
Language: Polish (Polski)
Gdybym ja była słoneczkiem na niebie, Nie świeciłabym jak tylko dla ciebie. Ani na wody, ani na lasy, ale po wszystkie Czasy pod twym okienkiem i tylko dla ciebie Gdybym w słoneczko mogła zmienić siebie. Gdybym ja była ptaszkiem z tego gaju, Nie śpiewałabym w żadnym obcym kraju. Ani na wody, ani na lasy, ale po wsystkie Czasy pod twym okienkiem i tylko dla ciebie Czemuż nie mogę w ptaszka zmienić siebie.
