Maryla Rodowicz - Ech Mała

You're young, your father is making you feel upset
And he receiving your power.
He's checking your notebook and he controlls your pockets
to eclipse what is burning inside.
When you fancy going on a party on Saturday
Father is lying with beer and he is saying:

Eh, baby, don't go mad
because you're 16
It's too early to go dancing
The time for going to the clubs will come
Don't play with matches
because heat will burn you
Stay at home in the evenings
when dancing tempts you
Eh, baby, don't go mad,
An exam is racing with another exam
Life is such,
Is such...

When you're married for twenty-something years
And your husband is collecting postcards or stamps
Sometimes you dream about pub or cabaret
With some argentine tango after supper.
When you want to go vis a vis for small brandy and cofe.
Your husband who has got a pain in his joints
Looking above the newspaper, he will tell you:

Eh, baby, don't go mad,
cause you're 50
It's nearer than further
You've already got what world wanted to give you
Don't play with mathes
because heat will burn you
Stay at home in the evenings
when dancing tempts you.
Eh, baby, clean up, cook and wash
Life is such,
Is such...

Today you're silently sitting in your own corner,
with kindly smile on your face
you're sitting by cheesecake, jam and knitting.
When you dream abut absolutelu nothing
But when you just feel a smell of rose
Suddenly you suspect that God in heaven silently whispered to you: ,,o le!"

Eh, baby, let's go mad,
you're 80!
Let's smoke and pour something
World haven't given you a lot
Let's finally play with matches
Let the heat burn you.
Don't stay at home in the evenings
Eh, baby, let's go mad
Take full handfulls of everything you want
Life is such,
is such..

Eh, baby, let's go mad,
you're 80!
Let's smoke and pour something
World haven't given you a lot
Let's finally play with matches
Let the heat burn you.
Don't stay at home in the evenings
Eh, baby, let's go mad
Take full handfulls of everything you want
Life is such,
is such...
