Last year Akurat gave almost 100 concerts becoming one of the most popular college groups. Their main asset is unique unpretentious style escaping classification. Some link them to reggae legends like Daab and Gedeon Jerubal and even to UB40. To others they are the heirs of the independent stars like Mr.Zoob, Kazik and Kult. AKURAT created their own recognizable style. Their music has loads of positive energy and reflects the joy of playing. It’s a mixture of rock with a solid dose of ska music and intriguing lyrics perfectly describing reality.
AKURAT was set up in November 1994 in Bielsko-Biała – the city in southern Poland called “the second Cracow” - by students with different professional aspirations - graphic designers, a filmmaker, an actor and two ”educated” musicians. The members of the band did not change and they are - Tomasz Kłaptocz (vocals, trumpet), Piotr Wróbel and Wojciech Żółty (guitars), Przemysław Zwias (saxophone, flute), Ireneusz Wojnar (bass) and Łukasz Gocal (drums). Their career begun with a few amateur contests, which brought them prizes (in Bielsko and Andrychów). Later they made their way to Przystanek Woodstock festival in Żary, where they performed three times (in 1998, 1999 and 2001) for thousands of people. They also gave concerts in Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Czech Republic and Slovakia. In 2001 AKURAT recorded their first album ”Pomarańcza” (Orange) – with hits: ”Hahaczyk”, ”Espania”, ”Droga długa jest” (Long is the road) and ”Lubię mówić z Tobą” (I like talking with you). Their next album ”Prowincja” (Province) was issued with their own resources and despite of little promotion turned out to be a success – singles ”Wiej-ska” and ”Do prostego człowieka” (To the simple man) – were on charts in independent radio stations.
Charismatic vocalist, great sound of brass, excellent guitarists and efficient rhythmic section are the main assets of the band, which will publish their new album “Fantasmagorie” (Fantasmagories) in late spring ‘2006. The album, with no doubt, will bring them right to the top of the Polish music scene.
Bajka o Księżycu
Akurat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Na księżycu nie ma życia
Dawniej księżyc coś ukrywał
Dziś nic nie ma do ukrycia
Nie ma życia na księżycu
A na ziemi nie ma szans
Nie ma mowy myśli ryba
Na księżycu się nie żyje
A na ziemi ziemskie troski
Nikt nie mieszka na księżycu
Morsem nadał pan twardowski
Ciekaw jestem gdzie jest e.t.
I co robi dziś pies łajka
Skąd się biorą ci kosmici
W dobranockach snach i bajkach (x3)
I choć ufo nie istnieje
To ostatni już odleciał
Wciąż rozumek ma oparcie
Jeszcze nikt go nie przeleciał
To już koniec tej melodii
Dość już bzdur tych i dyrdymał
Wciąż rozumek ma oparcie
Jeszcze nikt go nie wydymał (x3)
The lyrics to Akurat's song Bajka o Księżycu are a poetic reflection on the idea of life on the moon and the mysteries of the universe. The opening lines, "Nie ma życia na księżycu / Na księżycu nie ma życia" (There is no life on the moon / On the moon, there is no life), set the tone for the rest of the song, which examines the absence of any signs of life on the celestial body. The lyrics point out that while the moon used to hold secrets and mysteries, today there is nothing left to uncover. The moon is a barren and lifeless place, devoid of any possibility of existence. In contrast, life on Earth is fraught with struggles and challenges, as reflected in the line "A na ziemi nie ma szans" (But on Earth, there is no chance).
The song then moves on to contemplate the idea of communication, noting that fish do not have speech and humans cannot communicate with beings on Mars. The lyrics then return to the theme of the lack of life on the moon, suggesting that not even the famous literary character of Pan Twardowski (a Polish version of Faust) resides there. The questions of where extraterrestrial life might exist and what they might be doing are posed, with a reference to the famous space dog Laika. The final section of the song seems to acknowledge the absurdity of these musings, but also notes that the human desire to understand the mysteries of the universe remains strong.

To ostatni już odleciał
The last one has already flown away
Wciąż rozumek ma oparcie

No one has fooled it yet
To już koniec tej melodii
This is the end of this melody
Dość już bzdur tych i dyrdymał
Enough of these nonsense and babble
Jeszcze nikt go nie wydymał
No one has fooled it yet
Wciąż rozumek ma oparcie
The mind still has a foundation
