Her career began with the band Holloee Poloy an underground band with which she parted ways to pursue a solo career. She went to London and recorded her first solo album, sung entirely in English. The record, titled "Love", gained the singer some well-deserved acclaim from radio stations, but wasn't exactly a hit. Edyta decided to sing in Polish and that's what brought her an incredible succeess, making her one of the driving forces behind the emancipation of Polish female rock singers of early 90's (the other two being Kasia Nosowska from Hey and Kasia Kowalska). She recorded "Sen" (a Dream) which brought her some of the biggest hits of her career - Sen and Tatuaż. Over the following years, she developed both lyrically and artistically, achieving even greater commercial success. After the records "Szok n' Show", "Dziecko" (a Child), "Wodospady" (Waterfalls), "Dziś są moje urodziny" (today is my birthday - a greatest hits collection) and numerous collaborations with other polish acts, she vanished into obscurity, with an occasional songs ever so often. She's been on a break ever since 1999, and every single song she has recorded since was supposed to be a single for an upcoming record. All of those supposed singles were instant success, but the fans are still waiting for her new LP. She has a son Aleksander, from her marriage to one of the best Polish sound engineers Leszek Kamiński, whom she divorced.

Her biggest hits are: Sen, Ostatni, Jenny, Tatuaż, Skłamałam, Miłość Jak Ogień, Opowieść, Niewinność, Zegar, Szał, Cztery Pokoje featuring Kazik, Trudno Tak featuring Krzysztof Krawczyk. Have To Carry On, Blues For You, Goodbye To The Roman Candles.

Mandarynka

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mandarynką chcę być dziś
W twym mandarynkowym śnie
Będę kusić twój wzrok
Byś ze skórki obrał mnie

Moje ciało jest jak miąższ
I gdybyś tylko mógł
To ja cierpliwie czekam, aż

Weźmiesz mnie do ust...

Jestem tak słodka
(Mandarynka)

Nie przerywaj swego snu
Proszę, nie zostawiaj mnie
Bo któżby inny przecież chciał
W mandarynce kochać się?

Nie, proszę nie zostawiaj mnie..
Mandarynką chcę być dziś...

Jestem tak słodka
(Mandarynka)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Edyta Bartosiewicz's song "Mandarynka" contain a metaphorical comparison between a woman's body and a mandarin. The singer wants to be the object of her lover's desire in his dream, and she uses the image of a mandarin to describe her physical appearance. She wants to tempt him with her sweet and juicy flesh, and she asks him to peel off her skin with his eyes. The line "My body is like the pulp" suggests that she is offering herself as a fruit to be consumed by him.

The repetition of the phrase "I want to be a mandarin today" emphasizes her desire to be a desirable object to her lover, and the phrase "Don't interrupt your dream" implies that she is willing to wait for him to come to her. The final lines "I'm so sweet (mandarin)" suggest that she is confident in her attractiveness, and she wants to be appreciated and desired by her lover. The song conveys a sense of sensuality, desire, and femininity through the metaphor of a mandarin.
