Marznę bez ciebie
Maria Peszek Lyrics

The song "Marznę bez ciebie" by Maria Peszek is a melancholic expression of the feeling of loneliness and longing that one experiences after a break-up. The lyrics are deeply personal and introspective, conveying the emotional state of the singer as she grapples with the pain and emptiness that comes with being alone. The opening lines "marznę bez Ciebie / zamarzam powoli / się kulę" (I'm freezing without you / slowly freezing / I curl up) set the tone for the rest of the song, with the imagery of being cold and alone evoking a sense of isolation and despair.

The singer seeks solace in the memory of her lover, keeping close the object that still carries his scent, "zawijam się w dywan / twym zapachem się przykrywam" (I wrap myself in a blanket / cover myself with your scent). She longs for the warmth and companionship that he once provided, and finds herself lost without him. The comparison to a geisha without her kimono, or Yoko Ono without Lennon, further highlights the sense of emptiness and disconnection that she feels.

In the final verses, the singer reflects on the physical effects of the separation, with "bez ciebie chłód / bez ciebie mroź / gaśnie na niebie wielki wóz" (without you, coldness / without you, frost / the big dipper fades in the sky). The reference to the dipper symbolizes the idea of losing a guiding light, or feeling lost in the dark. The repetition of the chorus, "jak gejsza bez kimona / Joko Ono bez Lenona / jak Tokio pod śniegiem / marznę bez Ciebie" (like a geisha without a kimono / Yoko Ono without Lennon / like Tokyo under the snow / I'm freezing without you), drives home the central theme of the song - the unbearable coldness of being alone.
