the song is about how i learned to appreciate mother love once my mum was not around anymore. i was in the UK while she was in Poland and she sent me a scarf to make sure i was warm... and i sat down, wrapped-up in the scarf. and i teared. and i started writing the lyrics. this is also the very first song i wrote in my life.
enjoy <3
znalazłam niedawno taką sentencję, która dobrze oddaje o co mi tutaj chodziło. brzmi ona: "tak mało kochamy, gdy ją jeszcze mamy... gdy ciszę po sobie zostawi, sumienie w żalu się dławi". czasami chyba tak jest, że trudno docenić relację, póki się jej nie straci. gdy jest na wyciągnięcie ręki wydaje się nieidealna, trudna, może bezsensowna. w tej piosence śpiewam o docenieniu miłości matki. napisałam tę piosenkę w Anglii, po tym jak rozpakowałam paczkę z Polski i był w niej szalik. mama chciała mieć pewność, że będzie mi w tej Anglii ciepło.
miłego słuchania <3

lyrics:
We didn’t talk too much...
Or maybe we just talked the words
Into meaninglessness, mum.
It all wasn’t easy... right?
You left me a new scarf
And soon your smile was gone...
So long before mine was even born.
Oh, but at least I do now feel the warmth…
Mum… Mama… I...
I will dress warmly,
Oh, I do remember mum,
Well… I will dress warmly,
I still remember your smile -
That fragile butterfly!
Oh, butterfly…
Mmm…
You’re always on my mind,
Even though the winter wind has blown away
This soft sweet flower of mine,
But probably not just this one.
Oh, I know too well
That the vibrant film never stops to play...
Though for one it freezes… numb.
Dozens of thoughts not worth a dime now...
Mum… Mama…. I...
I will dress warmly,
Oh, I do remember mum,
Well… I will dress warmly,
I still remember your smile -
That fragile butterfly!
Oh, butterfly…
Mmm...
But I do now, finally, feel the warmth...
Mum, your warmth.
