FOTOMODELKI Lyrics (English Translation) – Taco Hemingway

[Verse 1: Taco Hemingway, Livka]
The fashion models went out on the town yesterday
That means that spring is coming
Not long ago there were hardly any of them
But they’re descending on Warsaw like a plague
Here they come, and their stilettos – like a red-hot knife through butter
They pierce the pavement to the rhythm of money
They glide smoothly back and forth across the crosswalks
Like on a bed, it almost happens, but it won’t quite reach the end, uh
The aura of pale pink limbs darkens
That means that spring is ending
And you should maybe send out a wanted poster for that spring

But unfortunately, summer is messing with your head
She smelled of cigarettes and Givenchy perfume
She drank vodka with freshly squeezed lime juice
She liked to get angry while playing Monopoly
When her opponent put up a hotel and houses on Krakowskie Przedmieście
When she had a hangover, she drank broth, not Oshee
And Gotye was playing on the radio then, not Doechii
At Efes, she ordered a double portion of meat
And she constantly borrowed my clothes and books

[Chorus: Taco Hemingway]
Where are those girls, where are those guys?
I still have their things in my drawer
I see old faces and faded photos
My life is like a lost and found office
Where are those girls, where are those guys? I still have some of their belongings in my drawer
We probably won’t meet again, sorry
My life is like a lost and found office

[Verse 2: Taco Hemingway, Livka]
The fashion models have orphaned the city
That means autumn is coming
You’d like to escape to the tropics like them
But you know the tune when your wallet fails you
If I want the Orient, I visit Sapko

Besides that, I feel like a prisoner in Warsaw
When I look into your eyes, so tired from drinking
I think that Poland is one big drunk tank
The stench of burning garbage drifts from the suburbs
That means autumn is dying
I have the chaos of an unfinished novel in my head
And I don’t know what year it is anymore
She sang Budka Suflera while drunk
She lectured me for hours about Gessler’s debts
She – a model’s face, but a bum’s soul
And she gets emotional with a hangover when she plays “Que Sera, Sera”
My thoughts go back several years (The lantern goes out)
I go back to 2012
No wonder I remember that day so clearly
One stupid hangover changed my life forever (What’s up?)

[Chorus: Taco Hemingway]
Where are those girls, where are those guys?
I still have some of their belongings in my drawer
I see old faces and faded photos
My life is like a lost and found office
Where are those girls, where are those guys?
I still have some of their belongings in my drawer
We probably won’t meet again, sorry
My life is like a lost and found office
Where are those girls, where are those guys? I still have their belongings in my drawer
I see old faces and faded photos
My life is like a lost and found office
Where are those girls, where are those guys?
I still have their belongings in my drawer
We probably won’t meet again, sorry
My life is like a lost and found office
