Moje miasto
Maria Peszek Lyrics

The lyrics to the song "Moje miasto" by Maria Peszek describe the city as a living organism that is born from light and rain. The first verse repeats the lines "Ze światła poczęte, Moje miasto" (born from light, my city) and "Z deszczu wyżęte, Moje miasto" (drained from rain, my city) four times, creating a hypnotic effect. It is as if the city has sprung into existence from these elemental forces.

The following verse lists the different elements that make up the city: buildings, cars, elevators, confused inhabitants, dogs, shops, clubs, cinemas, hospitals, cemeteries, police officers, bazaars, breweries, kiosks, hypermarkets, gadgets, pseudo-celebrities, and superwomen. The city is a jumble of these things, but somehow they all fit together. The last line of the verse is "Moje miasto przestrzeni rozbitek" (my city of space castaways), suggesting that the city is a refuge for people who don't fit in anywhere else.

In the last verse, Peszek describes the city from different perspectives. It is unclear and mysterious at the outskirts, but clear and marble-like in the center. It is a city of imagination, with bridges that are like dreams. In foggy weather, it disappears, but in the sun it spreads out. At night, it is dead, but in the morning the trams bring it back to life. The repeated "La la la la" at the end of the song creates a sense of hopefulness, as if despite the chaos, the city is still full of possibility.
