Pożegnanie
Big Day Lyrics

The lyrics to Big Day's song Pożegnanie describe a farewell and a departure from something or someone that has caused pain and confusion. The opening line, "Rozpina żagle los nad nami" (Fate unfurls its sails above us) puts forth the idea that the circumstances beyond our control are leading us away from something. The next line "Od nieprzyjaciół odpływamy" ( We sail away from enemies) suggests that it may be a person or persons that are causing the departure.

The song goes on to talk about leaving the streets filled with "obcych marzeń" (foreign dreams) which may signify a societal or cultural environment that is at odds with the singer's own values or beliefs. The last two lines of the first verse bring the idea of departure and separation to a climax, when the singer says "To chyba już koniec snu/ To coś co zniewala was/ I on już nie wróci tu/ Bo prawdy chcę ja" (This must be the end of the dream/ That enslaves you/ And it will not return/ Because I seek the truth). The decision to leave is final, the singer is not only seeking an escape but also a greater understanding of something much grander.

In the second verse, the lyrics suggest that the singer has had shared experiences with others in the past, but it is time to move on. The line, "Tam nasze drogi biegły razem/ Tu może jednak by to zmienić/ Trochę odwagi" (There where our paths ran together/ Here perhaps it can change/ Slightly emboldened), hints that despite the communal ties being left behind, change can be initiated if one is willing to take a chance. The chorus then repeats the idea that this is the end of a dream, that it will not return, and that the singer wishes to leave. The final words of the song "Byliśmy sami" (We were alone), imbue the lyrics with a haunting quality that suggests regret and longing for the past.
