Mam, tak samo jak ty,
Miasto moje a w nim:
Najpiękniejszy mój świat
Najpiękniejsze dni Gdybyś ujrzeć chciał nadwiślański świt
Zostawiłem tam, kolorowe sny Już dziś wyruszaj ze mną tam
Kiedyś zatrzymam czas Zobaczysz jak, przywita pięknie nas
I na skrzydłach jak ptak Warszawski dzień
Będę leciał co sił
Tam, gdzie moje sny, Mam tak samo jak ty...
I warszawskie kolorowe dni…
Gdybyś ujrzeć chciał nadwiślański szczyt
Już dziś wyruszaj ze mną tam
Zobaczysz jak, przywita pięknie nas /x2
