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.

Ty rozumiesz
Edyta Bartosiewicz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Czy widzisz jak we mnie dojrzewa wielki wrzód?
Wiem kiedyś on pęknie, nie mogę ufać mu
Choć zżyci jesteśmy ze sobą długi czas
Jak wąż niebezpieczny ukrywa w sobie jad

I żeby on oszczędził mnie
Fałszywą miłość daję mu

Ty rozumiesz mnie
Tak już przecież jest
Tak już musi być
Ty rozumiesz mnie

Nad oceanem drzew unoszę lekko się
I widzę własny cień - on wciąż oddycha
Czy czujesz jak we mnie pulsuje życie
Głęboko, wciąż głębiej, a niebo się zamyka

I żebyś ty oszczędził mnie
Fałszywą miłość daję Ci

Ty rozumiesz mnie
Tak już przecież jest
Tak już musi być
Ty rozumiesz mnie

Ty rozumiesz mnie...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Edyta Bartosiewicz's song Ty rozumiesz, which translates to "You Understand Me," depict a person who is gradually growing and nursing a big sore within themselves. The sore is a metaphorical representation of a burden, an obstacle, or an emotional wound that is taking a toll on the person. The person is aware that the sore will eventually burst, causing them great pain, and they cannot trust it even though it has been with them for a long time, like a venomous snake that conceals its poison inside.

Despite the burden they carry, the person gives false love to the sore, hoping that it will spare them. The chorus, "you understand me," is directed at someone who the person believes can empathize with their struggle. The person finds solace in the idea that someone can comprehend what they are going through without having to explain themselves in detail. They long for a deep, emotional connection with someone who can support them in their battles and guide them through their pain.

In the second verse, the person floats above a forest of trees by the ocean, seeing their shadow below, still breathing. The imagery here is symbolic of the person feeling detached from themselves and the world around them, yet still being aware of their existence. The person's life pulses within them, deeper and deeper, but the sky closes in on them, symbolizing the overwhelming nature of their burden. The person wishes their loved one could spare them of a false love they give them, hiding their pain.

Overall, the song is about the struggle of carrying emotional baggage, the fear of pain and betrayal, and the hope for someone to understand and ease the hurt.
