Lola
Lech Janerka Lyrics

is a song by Lech Janerka, a Polish singer and songwriter, known for his socially and politically conscious lyrics. The song tells the story of Lola, a woman who wants to change the world, and the singer's desire to become more honest with himself and others, as he also dreams of changing the world. Lola is described as "very fat," which could be interpreted as a comment on society's expectations of women's bodies and the pressure to conform to unrealistic beauty standards. Lola's desire to change the world is juxtaposed with the singer's realization that changing the world is not an easy feat, as he observes the "uproar" and the "extra orchestra" playing during a march, suggesting that the struggle for change can be chaotic and confusing.

The singer's desire to be more honest with himself and others is a recurring theme throughout the song. He acknowledges the need for honesty to bring about positive change and suggests that more people like Lola are needed to create a better world. The repetition of the phrase "A ja od dzisiaj chcę być szczery" (And from today, I want to be honest) underscores the importance of being truthful and transparent to oneself and others.

The song can also be interpreted as a commentary on the social and political climate in Poland during the time period when it was released, 1986. Poland was under communist rule, and censorship was prevalent, making it difficult for artists to express their opinions freely. Janerka's lyrics, however, were able to convey social and political critiques through metaphors and allegories.
