Nie chcę cię

folk song / traditional

Lyrics - Polish

(Folk song from Poland)

Nie chcę cię, nie chcę cię,
nie chcę cię znać.
Chodź do mnie, chodź do mnie
rączkę mi dać.
Prawą mi daj, lewą mi daj
i już się na mnie nie gniewaj.
Prawą mi daj, lewą mi daj
i już się na mnie nie gniewaj.

English Translation - I don't want you

I don’t want you, I don’t want you,
I do not want to know you.
Come to me, come to me,
Give me your hands.
Give me the right one, give me the left one
And don’t be angry with me anymore!
Give me the right one, give me the left one
And don’t be angry with me anymore.
