BAGATELA Lyrics – Barbara Bobak

BAGATELA Lyrics Meaning

Sure! Here’s a more detailed and longer version, while still following your instructions and keeping the language simple and conversational:

[Prva strofa]
She’s saying how she wishes—if only—his new relationship wasn’t just another one of those flings where a different girl shows up at his place every single night. But she knows that’s exactly what’s happening, and it’s no surprise to her. She’s seen it all before. Those girls just seem to appear next to him, like they magically show up, ready to make him feel better until morning. But even with all their effort, it doesn’t really help—because he’s too broken, and no amount of late-night comfort can fix what’s wrong with him.

[Predefren]
She feels like these girls are trying to get revenge on her by chasing after her ex, using him to get some twisted satisfaction, thinking they’ve won over someone who once belonged to her.

[Refren]
She calls all those girls “bagatela,” meaning they’re cheap, insignificant, not worth much. And he’s exactly the kind of guy who fits right in with them—he’s their favorite customer, someone who keeps going back for the same shallow stuff. The girls act like they’ve scored something big, holding their heads like they’ve won, but all he does is take them to hotels, like they’re part of some empty routine. Most of them are just backups, replacements for the guys she used to be with, nothing real or meaningful. They hang out with him during those lonely, quiet hours when no one else wants him. And really, it’s simple: what kind of person you are is the kind of people you end up with. If he’s cheap, he’ll attract cheap.

[Druga strofa]
Now she says she wishes that someone a hundred times better would want her instead of wasting her time with a guy like him. Being with him has only brought drama, problems, and frustration. She’s completely aware that he regrets how things turned out—he probably realizes he lost someone good. That’s why he’s rushing around now, trying to prove something, maybe trying to run away from his guilt. But she’s over it. She’s not offering any forgiveness, not giving him another chance, and he’s no longer even something she thinks about. He’s just not relevant anymore.

[Predefren]
Once again, she points out how these flashy city girls use him as a way to hurt her, thinking they’ve got something she lost. But really, they’re falling for the same guy she already knows is a loser.

[Refren]
She repeats how all these women are just bagatela—nothing special, just surface-level types who fall for the same old tricks. He’s like a regular customer to them, someone who gives them just enough attention to keep them interested. They act all proud, pretending they’ve landed something amazing, but he just leads them to hotels, treating them like casual entertainment. They’re basically leftovers, filling the space for guys she’s no longer with. And again, they waste his time in the middle of the night when no one else is around. He’s not a catch—he’s just getting exactly what he’s worth.

[Refren]
She says it again with even more punch: those girls are nothing serious, and he’s the perfect guy for them because he fits right into that cheap lifestyle. They cling to him like they’ve won something, but it’s all fake. It’s just more of the same—shallow hookups, lonely nights, no real connection. He’s not growing, not changing, just stuck in the same loop. You are what you attract, and he’s not attracting anything worth remembering.
