Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wyci¹gasz d³oñ i nie chwyta jej nikt,
Dlaczego sypiesz sól na swe rany?
Daj sobie czas, wnet poczujesz,
Warto ¿yæ.
Ref.:
Odnalaz³am sens ¿ycia, odnalaz³am go,
śæ przysz³a, jedna mi³ość posz³a,
Odnalaz³am sens ¿ycia, odnalaz³am go,
Jedna mi³ość przysz³a, jedna mi³ość posz³a.
The lyrics of Doda's "Rany" are a poignant reflection on the pain of lost love and the process of healing. The opening lines speak to the desire to hold on to the memories of a past relationship, to feel the familiar scent of a loved one's skin. Yet despite reaching out for that connection, the singer finds herself unable to grasp it. This sense of estrangement is echoed in the image of sprinkling salt on one's own wounds - a self-destructive gesture that only further isolates the singer in her own pain.
Despite the palpable sense of anguish in these verses, the chorus hints at a deeper message of resilience and hope. The singer declares that she has found the meaning of life, though it is not a static or predictable thing. Instead, it is subject to constant flux, as relationships come and go. Yet even as love fades and new passions arise, the singer is able to hold onto the knowledge that change is not only inevitable but also valuable. By learning to let go of what is lost, she can move forward and embrace the beauty and complexity of existence.
Overall, "Rany" is a powerful meditation on the nature of human connection, loss, and renewal. Through the use of vivid imagery and raw emotion, Doda conveys a message that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
