Czerwone Gitary were founded by guitarist/vocalist Jerzy Kossela (July 15, 1942 – January 7, 2017) and bassist Henryk Zomerski on 3 January 1965 in Gdańsk. Initial members included Bernard Dornowski (guitar/vocals), Krzysztof Klenczon (lead guitar /vocals) and Jerzy Skrzypczyk (drums/vocals); four members (Dornowski, Klenczon, Kossela and Zomerski) had played previously in another notable Polish band, the Niebiesko-Czarni (The Blue-Blacks). Note: Radio disc jockey Neil Kempfer-Stocker was the first person to air the Blue-Blacks 45 rpms in America while at WRMC Radio Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 1968. In Autumn 1965 Zomerski was replaced by Seweryn Krajewski (bass/vocals) ; around that time the band also launched their first tour in Poland under the slogan "We play and sing the loudest in Poland".
Their 1966 debut album "To właśnie my" ("It's us") sold 160,000 copies, and their May 1967 follow up, Czerwone Gitary 2, sold a then-record (for Poland) 240,000. In the same year Krajewski received a special award at the National Festival of Polish Song in Opole (Krajowy Festiwal Piosenki Polskiej w Opolu). In 1967 Kossela left the band. The band's 1968 third album sold 220,000 copies, and the group received an award in Opole for their song "Takie ładne oczy" ("Such Pretty Eyes"). In 1969 the band received a MIDEM award in Cannes for the largest number of discs sold in Poland up to that date; this was the same year that the Beatles received this award. Thereafter the Czerwone Gitary would be known as the Polish Beatles (see also Beatlesque). The same year the group received a special award from Billboard magazine, and in Poland, another award from Opole festival for "Biały krzyż" ("White cross").
Klenczon left in 1970, the year of the band's acclaimed LP "Na fujarce" ("On the flute"). Krajewski then took lead as the group turned to mainstream folk-tinged pop in the 1970s.
After a hiatus the Czerwone Gitary returned in the early 1990s with Kossela, Dornowski and Skrzypczyk resurrecting the group. Krajeski refused to participate and even released a solo album credited to Czerwone Gitary by Seweryn Krajewski called "Koniec" ("The End"). Initially the new lineup played the old hits; its first new album since the 1970s was "...jeszcze gra muzyka" ("...still the music plays") in 1998. In a 2000 poll for the Polish magazine Polityka, Czerwone Gitary were selected as "One of the Best Polish Bands of the 20th Century". In 2005 a new song "Senny szept" ("Sleepy whisper") took fourth place in the Sopot International Song Festival.

Moda I milosc
Czerwone Gitary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mini buzia dołeczki w niej dwa
A na nosku sto piegów też mini
Którymi zdrajczyni mnie kusi co dnia
Lecz to mini mi czyni na złość
I w miłości niezgody to kość
Niby kocha lecz mało lecz mini
Bo miłość ma to potęga burz
I wichru moc i bezkresy mórz
Tak wielka jest jak szczyty gór
W lawinie chmur hoh
Szczytem mody jest dziewczyna ma
Mini serce widocznie też ma
Którym kocha tak mi inimalnie
Że żyć mi wypadnie w rozpaczy bez dna
Bo miłość ma to potęga burz
I wichru moc i bezkresy mórz
Tak wielka jest jak szczyty gór
W lawinie chmur hoh
Szczytem mody jest dziewczyna ma
Mini serce widocznie też ma
Którym kocha tak mi inimalnie
Że żyć mi wypadnie w rozpaczy bez dna
Lala lala lala
The song "Moda I Milosc" by Czerwone Gitary is a story about a man who is in love with a girl who is the epitome of fashion. This girl, who has a small face with two dimples and a nose with 100 freckles, captures his attention every day. However, the singer also confesses that her love of being fashionable is a source of frustration for him since he finds the girl's interest in wearing short skirts and tight clothes to be a nuisance. He expresses that her mini-skirts may be trendy, but they cause disagreements in their relationship. The singer loves the girl deeply, but he cannot understand why she values fashion over genuine love.
The chorus of the song talks about the power of love, which can cause storms and create chaos. The singer reveals that his love for her is as vast and powerful as the highest mountain peak or the stormiest sea. The singer recognizes that her love of fashion is just the surface, whereas her heart is minimal in terms of love, and it will leave him in the depths of despair. The last line, "lala lala lala," represents sadness and an inability to understand the relationship fully.

Fikuśny utwór 😉 Lubię te piosenkę 😀
Мадам в сережках
Mój ulubiony zespół z lat 60. Nawet Beatlesi byli czasami mniej lubiani. A ten album uważam za najlepszy. Zwłaszcza piosenki są dozwolone do lat osiemnastu i kwiaty we włosach, Takie ładne oczy. Kochałam i kocham ich jak pięćdziesiąt lat temu 🇷🇺 ♥ ️ 👍

Mój chłopak mi to śpiewał swego czasu.Miło to wspominam po latach.
