Bila's first experiences with show business were as a member of the rock bands Rock-Automat and Arakain. In 1980, she was noticed by Czech music producer Petr Hannig, who created her stage name Lucie Bílá (literally, Lucy White) and penned her first recorded songs. Interestingly, her name change was originally due to confusion with another famous Czech singer, Hana Zagorová. For over three decades, Bílá has had tremendous professional success among Czechs in a broad range of endeavors, starring in the best-known stage musicals in the country, releasing several popular solo albums, and starring in several films and television specials. For several years in a row in the 1990s she topped the list of the most popular Czech singers in the coveted Český Slavík awards.
Bílá owes some of her greatest hits to the songwriter Gábina Osvaldová and Gábina's husband, composer Ondřej Soukup. Their collaboration became legendary among Czech musicians. Some of their most notable hits were Láska je Láska, Čarodějka, Jinak to nebude (Haňa Zaňa), Zpíváš mi Requiem, Trouba, and Most přes minulost.
Her personal relationships have been rocky and are perennial tabloid fodder. She and her first husband Petr Kratochvíl had a son, Filip, born in 1996. Not long after, her husband left her for beauty queen finalist Pavlína Babůrkova. In 2002, she was married briefly to musician Stanislav Penk, and in 2006 she married another musician, Václav Noid Bárta, who she has already splitted with. She is a single woman now, raising her child - son Filip.
Lucie Bílá keeps recording tracks and she is actually concerned with som musicals, shows in theatre of Prague, the capital of Czech Repuplic.
We keep our fingers crossed for you,Lucie Bílá !

Lucie Bílá Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Zná samotu tak z blízka
Je jeho denním chlebem
Zná ji líp než sám sebe
Čas bez konce a cíle
Jak dobře znám ty chvíle
Nám hvězdy neposvítí
Má duše stéblo chytá
Když schází voda živá
Jak zvon co svůj hlas ztrácí
Tak já čekám tě adagio
S tebou ještě můžu snít
Vím že mě nezradíš
Jan hraj mi dál
Nocí tiše zní
Tvé tóny poslední
Tak nás osaměle objímáš ty adagio
Nám hvězdy neposvítí
A sen se spáčům skrývá
Má duše stéblo chytá
Když schází voda živá
Jak zvon co svůj hlas ztrácí
Tak já čekám tě
Jsi můj vzácný host adagio
Hledám tě v harmonii
Kde naše tóny žijí
Jak zvon co svůj hlas ztrácí
Jen tebe mám
Tak hraj mi dál
Osamělé
Adagio
The song "Adagio" by Lucie Bílá is a sentimental ballad about missing someone who is a rare and special guest in the singer's life. The opening lines describe the person whom the singer misses, who is intimately familiar with solitude and knows it better than he knows himself. This person lives in a timeless and goalless world that is familiar to the singer.
The chorus expresses the singer's longing for this person, whom he believes will never betray him. He feels that he is grasping a straw when he searches for this rare and valuable acquaintance in a world where dreams are hidden from sleepers. The singer is waiting for this person to arrive and embrace him solitarily, like the sound of a bell that loses its tone. The second verse emphasizes how the singer can still dream with this person because he knows that he won't be let down.
In conclusion, the song is about finding and cherishing someone who is a rare and valuable guest in one's life. It emphasizes the longing and hope that exist despite the difficulties and hardships faced by the singer. The emotions conveyed in the lyrics are melancholic but hopeful, as they express the joy and comfort that come from being with someone special and the sadness of missing them.

Ten kterému se stýská
He who longs for it
Zná samotu tak z blízka
Knows loneliness so closely
Je jeho denním chlebem
It's his daily bread
Zná ji líp než sám sebe
Knows it better than himself
Čas bez konce a cíle
Time without end or goal
Jak dobře znám ty chvíle
How well I know those moments
Nám hvězdy neposvítí
Stars won't shine for us
A sen se spáčům skrývá
Dreams hide from the sleepers
Má duše stéblo chytá
My soul grasps at a straw
Když schází voda živá
When living water is lacking
Jak zvon co svůj hlas ztrácí
Like a bell losing its voice
Tak já čekám tě adagio
So I wait for you adagio
S tebou ještě můžu snít
With you, I can still dream
Vím že mě nezradíš
I know you won't betray me
Jan hraj mi dál
Jan, keep playing for me
Nocí tiše zní
Whispering quietly through the night
Tvé tóny poslední
Your final notes
Tak nás osaměle objímáš ty adagio
So you embrace us alone, adagio
Jsi můj vzácný host adagio
You are my precious guest, adagio
Hledám tě v harmonii
I seek you in harmony
Kde naše tóny žijí
Where our tones live
Jen tebe mám
I only have you
Osamělé
Lonely
