Gdybyś Kochał Hej
Piersi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gdybyś lubił mnie choć trochę hej
Gdybyś kochał jak nie kochasz mnie
Gdybyś nie był jaki jesteś
Zechciał tak jak nie chcesz mnie

Byłbyś wiatrem a ja polem hej
Byłbyś niebem ja topolą hej
Byłbyś słońcem a ja cieniem

Gdybyś tylko zmienił się

Gdybyś nie śnił mi się w nocy hej
Gdybyś dał mi wreszcie spokój hej

Może bym ci darowała
Może zapomniałabym

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Piersi's song Gdybyś Kochał Hej express the pain and longing of unrequited love. The singer is addressing the object of their affection, asking them to imagine what it would be like if they loved them even a little bit. The lyrics are filled with conditional clauses, expressing the singer's desire for the object of their affection to change, to be transformed into someone who would love them back. The song contemplates a world where the object of the singer's affection is different, where they are a gentle wind instead of a storm, where they are a comforting shadow instead of the scorching sun.

However, the song is also tinged with resignation, as the singer is aware that this imagined world may never come to fruition. The repeated "hej" at the end of each line adds a sense of urgency and intensity to the song, as if the singer is pleading with the object of their affection to consider their feelings. Ultimately, the song is a bittersweet reflection on the pain of loving someone who does not love you back, and the possibility of finding some measure of peace by letting go.
