Nie ma mnie już i cóż
Kayah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mogę być i całym światem, ale ty odwracasz twarz
Nie ma mnie już i cóż
Nie ma mnie już i cóż
Aman minush, minush
Kusum minush, minush
Aman minush, minush
Kusum minush, minush
Drżeniem powiek w słońcu i drogowskazem kiedy mrok
I nadzieją mogę być, ale ty odwracasz wzrok
Nie ma mnie już i cóż
Nie ma mnie już i cóż
Aman minush, minush
Kusum minush, minush
Aman minush, minush
Kusum minush, minush
Wszystko co w kobiecie jest ofiarować mogę ci
Ale gdy nie kochasz mnie nie potrafię niczym być
Nie ma mnie już i cóż
Nie ma mnie już i cóż
Aman minush, minush
Kusum minush, minush
Aman minush, minush
Kusum minush, minush
Aman minush,
Aman minush
Aman
The lyrics of Kayah's song "Nie ma mnie już i cóż" convey a sense of longing and disappointment in a relationship where the singer feels unnoticed and unappreciated. The opening lines, "Jestem deszczem, jestem wiatrem i schronieniem które znasz" (I am the rain, I am the wind, and the shelter you know), suggest that the singer is offering comfort and support, but the other person turns away.
The repetition of the phrase "Nie ma mnie już i cóż" (There is no me anymore, so what) throughout the song emphasizes the singer's resignation and acceptance of the situation. They express their willingness to be everything for the other person, but their efforts are met with indifference. The lines "Drżeniem powiek w słońcu i drogowskazem kiedy mrok" (With trembling eyelids in the sun and as a signpost when it's dark) highlight the singer's versatility and ability to provide guidance, yet the other person looks away.
The verse "Wszystko co w kobiecie jest ofiarować mogę ci, Ale gdy nie kochasz mnie nie potrafię niczym być" (I can offer you everything that a woman has, but when you don't love me, I can't be anything) reveals the singer's desperation for love and validation. They express their willingness to give everything, but without love, they feel empty and worthless.
Overall, the lyrics of "Nie ma mnie już i cóż" depict a person who is willing to be everything for their partner but feels invisible and unimportant in the relationship. The repetition of the phrase "Nie ma mnie już i cóż" solidifies the feeling of resignation and acceptance of their unrequited love.

Jestem deszczem, jestem wiatrem i schronieniem które znasz
I am like the rain, the wind, and the shelter that you know
Mogę być i całym światem, ale ty odwracasz twarz
I can be everything and the whole world, but you turn away
Drżeniem powiek w słońcu i drogowskazem kiedy mrok
I am the trembling eyelids in the sun and the guide when it's dark
I nadzieją mogę być, ale ty odwracasz wzrok
And I can be hope, but you look away
Wszystko co w kobiecie jest ofiarować mogę ci
I can offer you everything that is in a woman
Ale gdy nie kochasz mnie nie potrafię niczym być
But when you don't love me, I can't be anything

Jak to możliwe że taki oryginalny utwór o orientalnym, nieco mrocznym brzmieniu z poetyckim tekstem ma tylko ponad 130 polubień? Pamięć o twoich wokalnych wyczynach, droga Kayah, zabiorę kiedyś ze sobą na tamten świat, żeby sobie nucić 😚
