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.

Lady Pank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jest późno, kiedy idziesz spać
Naprawdę powiedz mi, nikt przecież nas nie słyszy
W hotelach nie ma dla nas miejsc
Ref.:
Tańczą na głowie - rozbitkowie
Lecą do góry, lecą w dół
W parku na ławce dobrze im
Pójdziemy sobie gdzieś, jak starzy lunatycy
Butelkę wina mam, ogrzejemy się
Ja przecież dobrze wiem, potrzeba ci słodyczy
Ostatnią bramę zamknął nocny stróż
Ref.:
Tańczą na głowie - rozbitkowie
Lecą do góry, lecą w dół
Tańczą bogowie, co im powiesz
W parku na ławce dobrze im
Kiedy dotykasz mnie nic więcej się nie liczy
I nie mów nic - dobrze jest jak jest
Zabierasz tylko płaszcz i trochę tajemnicy
Jest wtorek - zrywam się ze snu
Ref.:
Tańczą na głowie - rozbitkowie
Lecą do góry, lecą w dół
Tańczą bogowie, co im powiesz
W parku na ławce dobrze im
The lyrics to Lady Pank's song "Rozbitkowie" speak of two people who are finding comfort in each other's company, away from the prying eyes of society. The first verse speaks of one person asking the other where they live, because it's late at night and they need to get some sleep. The second line of the verse reveals that they are looking for a place to stay because hotels are not an option for them. The chorus refers to them as "rozbitkowie" which in English means castaways or shipwrecked people. The image is that of people who are lost and trying to survive in a world that doesn't understand them. The chorus repeats the phrase "Tańczą na głowie" which means "Dancing on their heads". The image of dancing suggests that they are happy in each other's company, despite their current situation.
The second verse speaks of them going somewhere together, like old lunatics, sharing a bottle of wine and keeping warm. The singer, knowing the situation they are in, reassures their partner that they will provide sweetness in their life (potrzeba ci słodyczy). The last line reveals that even though it's late at night, they will find a place to stay. The chorus repeats the same phrase, suggesting that the two people have found solace in each other's company, with no need for anything else.
The final verse speaks of the two people touching, and the importance of the moment. The singer reflects that nothing else matters, and the other person need not speak. The second line reveals that the other person takes only a coat and some secrets, as they make their way to a park bench. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the bond between them.
Overall, the lyrics speak of two outsiders who have found comfort in each other's company. They are dancing on their heads, away from the norms of society. The song speaks of the importance of human connection, regardless of our circumstances.
