W imieniu dam
Hey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nie nazywaj mnie kukiełką,
Kotkiem swym
Lepiej milcz!
Żaden ze mnie ptyś,
Żadna ptaszko-mysz
Lepiej milcz!

Do cholery! Spróbuj wbić do łba!
Ja na imię, Kaśka od kołyski mam!

Nie nazywaj mnie skarbeńkiem,
Klaczką swą
Lepiej milcz!
Żaden ze mnie psiak,
Bejbe, żabka, miś
Lepiej milcz!

Do cholery! Spróbuj wbić do łba!
Ja na imię, Kaśka od kołyski mam!

W nazywaniu stroń




Od niechcianych form...
Śpiewam w imieniu dam...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hey's song W imieniu dam, particularly in the chorus, revolve around the theme of being pigeonholed and not being defined by labels or pet names. The singer adamantly refuses to be called various cute names like "kukiełka" (puppet), "kotek" (kitten), "skaarb" (treasure), "klaczka" (mare), "psiak" (puppy), "bejbe" (baby), "żabka" (frog), or "miś" (bear). To the singer, these words are unwanted forms of labeling and don't give her true identity any justice. She instead urges the offender to "better shut up" lest they try to put her into a box that doesn't fit her. The singer then reveals her name to be Kaśka from the moment of her birth, which seems to serve as a plea to be seen as an individual with a unique identity, rather than a stereotype.


The final lines of the chorus, "W nazywaniu stroń, od niechcianych form... śpiewam w imieniu dam," can be translated to: "Avoid naming from unwanted forms... I sing in the name of women." This may suggest that the singer's discontent with labels is rooted in a larger societal issue, where women may be overly judged and categorized in limiting ways. The singer sees herself as a representative of other women who may feel the same way and sings to bring attention to the issue.


Overall, Hey's song W imieniu dam is a bold declaration against harmful labels and stereotypes that try to box people in. The singer asserts her individuality and urges listeners to do the same and see beyond preconceived notions. The song offers a message of empowerment that resonates beyond just the singer's personal experience and speaks to larger societal issues.
