It was started in 1982 in Warsaw by Jan Borysewicz and Andrzej Mogielnicki. Its first famous song was "Mała Lady Punk" (Little Lady Punk). Lady Pank garnered some attention in the United States in 1986 when MTV placed the video for the band's single "Minus Zero" on heavy rotation.

Lady Pank is quite a curiosity on the Polish musical market. They got popular before they were actually... formed! The group, which was originally planning to call itself "Żużel", received a lot of media coverage as a result of a skilfully conducted promotional campaign combined with group's questionnable talent.

1. Tracę któryś dzień.
Nie wiem jak i gdzie.
Jak na imię jej.
I skąd zabiera mnie.
Czy wiosenna mgła, takie oczy ma?
Kradnie moje ja.
I tak uwodzi mnie.

Refren.
Powiedz mi!
Czy to ja?
Czy to moje dłonie?
Czy to ja?
Tonę nieprzytomnie.
Ile dni jeszcze mi zostało?
Abym mógł poznać twoje ciało.

2. Palę myśli swe.
Chcę odnaleźć się.
Chcę uciekać i nie budzić jej ze snu.
Skradam się jak kot.
Ona czuje to.
Zrobi wszystko, żeby zacząć jeszcze raz.

Tu, tu, ru, du, tu, ru
Tu, tu, ru, du, tu, ru
Tu, tu, ru, du, tu, ru
Tu, tu, du...

Refren.
Powiedz mi!
Czy to ja?
Czy to moje dłonie?
Czy to ja?
Tonę nieprzytomnie.
Ile dni jeszcze mi zostało?
Abym mógł poznać twoje ciało.

Tu, tu, ru, du, tu, ru
Tu, tu, ru, du, tu, ru
Tu, tu, ru, du, tu, ru
Tu, tu, du...

Refren.
Powiedz mi!
Czy to ja?
Czy to moje dłonie?
Czy to ja?
Tonę nieprzytomnie.
Ile dni jeszcze mi zostało?
Abym mógł poznać twoje ciało./3

Overall Meaning

"Do Moniki L." is a song by Polish rock band Lady Pank, released in 1986. The lyrics describe the singer's obsession with a woman named Monika L. He is lost without her, and doesn't know where she is or what her name is. He wonders if she has the power to make him lost, whether it's the spring fog or her enchanting eyes. He is desperate to know if he is the one drowning in his feelings for her or if it's his hands that are leading him deep into the abyss. The lyrics are filled with metaphors that embody the singer's sense of confusion and turmoil.

The second stanza talks about the singer's desire to find himself and escape from this obsession. He wants to run away from her and not wake her from her sleep, but he knows that she senses his every move, just like a cat can. She will do anything to start over again. The song ends with the chorus repeating the same questions over and over again, emphasizing the singer's desperation to get to know her and her body before it's too late.
