The original line-up of the band was leader, composer, arranger and keyboardist Paweł Rurak-Sokal, singer Tatiana Okupnik, Viola Danel (guitar), Sebastian Kasprowicz (guitar), Marcin Markuszewski (bass), Łukasz Moszczyński (drums), Piotr Sławiński (trumpet) and Michał Niewiadomski (trombone). Their first single "Español" was released in 2001, with album Fanaberia following in late 2002.
Blue Café submitted "You May Be In Love", a track from Fanaberia, to the 2003 Polish Eurovision Song Contest selection, where it made the final, finishing in third place. It subsequently topped the Polish chart when released as a single. The following year, the band took part in the Eurovision selection again with "Love Song", a Latin-flavoured track from their second album Demi-sec. In a close televoting and SMS result, "Love Song" emerged the winner, earning Blue Café the Polish ticket for the 49th Eurovision Song Contest. 2004 was the year in which a pre-qualifying semi-final was introduced to Eurovision; however, Ich Troje's top 10 finish for Poland the previous year meant that Blue Café gained automatic entry to the final, which was held in Istanbul on 15 May. Five members - Okupnik, Rurak-Sokal, Sławiński, Niewiadomski and newcomer Piotr Grąbkowski - appeared on stage on the night of the contest, when "Love Song" finished in a rather disappointing 17th place of 24 entries.
Okupnik decided to leave the band in 2005, she was replaced as lead singer by Dominika Gawęda. The band's fourth and most recent album, Four Seasons, was released in 2008.

Blue Café Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your every smile
How can you be so blind
And now it cuts me like a knife
I cannot recognize your love
Bring me to life
Don't let me die
Can you
Wake me up inside
Make me feel alive
Guide me through the dark
Bring me to life
Bring me to life now!
All of your hate
All of my pain
How can you really be so blind
Don't break my heart
I cannot breathe without your love
Another lie
I'm burning inside
Bring back my life
Save me, I'm on the edge
Don't let me fall
Can you still hear my voice
My scream
This song, "Four Seasons" by Blue Café, is a melancholic ballad which speaks of a tumultuous relationship between two people. The singer expresses his confusion and pain as he struggles to recognize the love of his partner who seems to be blind to his feelings. He talks of how he feels cut by a knife, and is unable to recognize his partner's love. He is asking his partner to bring him back to life and not let him die. He is crying out for help as he feels that he is in the dark, and he needs his partner's guidance to feel alive again.
The second verse of the song starts with a painful realization. The singer talks of how his partner's hate is causing him pain. He pleads with his partner not to break his heart and says he cannot breathe without their love. As the song progresses, he highlights how he is burning inside, and he needs his partner to bring back his life. He is on the edge, and he begs his partner not to let him fall. The bridge of the song is powerful and emotional, as the singer screams out to his partner, asking if they can still hear his voice and his scream.
