Ptak I Drzewo
Golden Life Lyrics

The song "Ptak i Drzewo" by Golden Life is a poignant reflection on the disappearing natural environment and the urgent need to protect it. The lyrics flow like a meditation on the beauty of nature, juxtaposed with the harsh realities of a world beset by environmental destruction. The opening lines "Myślałem całą noc, Ach gdybym był raz daleko stąd" ("I've been thinking all night, Oh if I were once far away from here") suggest a sense of restlessness and longing for a simpler time, a time of lush forests, thriving wildlife, and clean air.

The song then references the symbolic imagery of the bird and the tree. These two symbols are powerful and universal metaphors for freedom, independence, and resilience. The bird represents freedom, the ability to soar and fly away, while the tree represents permanence, stability, and rootedness. The lyrics call out the fact that there are fewer and fewer of these places left for the bird and the tree to flourish. The next lines "Czy widzisz dzisiaj jak, Nierówna wojna zabija świat" ("Do you see today how uneven war kills the world") underscore the urgent need for action to protect what is left.

The final call to action "Obudz się, Czy nie widzisz, że Coraz więcej takich miejsc" ("Wake up, Can't you see, that there are more and more of these places") is a powerful message to all of us to wake up and take responsibility for protecting our planet. The song is a reminder that the destruction of the natural environment is a slow but steady process, and if we do not act now, we run the risk of losing everything we hold dear.
