lyrics

Lengthy working days but big smile on my face
Different language that I quickly had to learn
Life ain't easy when treated second-class
Just a foreigner with a king's spirit

Feeling weary, need to rest
It'd be great to reach my place
It would help me focus and
Give me back my old strength

What I want, what I need, what I long
Is to go back to Kraków
Where the warmth that I find in my folks
Can dispel every shadow
Take the tram downtown
'Na Kazimierzu' we meet
Lovely Kasia, so bad did I miss
See you walk in the
Beautiful streets of Kraków

Silver cross on my chest that reminds me of my name
Nothing is for free, you will have to fight for it
Miss my old hometown and my people there
But I got a reason here and I'll keep on striving

But my genes are red and white
Need to go back for a while
To my place to fill my heart
To my roots to stay alive

What I want, what I need, what I long
Is to go back to Kraków
Where the warmth that I find in my folks
Can dispel every shadow
Floriańska, Grodzka, many places to be
My good friends, so bad did I miss
See you walk in the
Beautiful streets of Kraków

What I want, what I need, what I long
Is to go back to Kraków
Where the warmth that I find in my folks
Can dispel every shadow
Go to Main Square and then remember old days
Tata's holding my mama's hand
Walking by through the
Beautiful streets of Kraków
