Nudzi mi się
Piersi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(slowa i muzyka: Kukiz)
Nudzi mi sie - otwieram gazete
Czytam o bolszewii i "Solidarnosci"
Pijanym posle, wojnie w Jugoslawii
O Nazi-froncie i Unii Wolnosci
Dajcie!
Dajcie mi robote!
Na gorze sasiad w pijanym widzie

Tlucze o sciane pusta butelka
Poszlo piec tysiecy - co mnie to obchodzi
Mnie jest potrzeba piec razy wiecej
Nudzi mi sie - ogladam telewizje
Slucham o bolszewii i "Solidarnosci"
Dajcie!
Dajcie mi robote!
Wstaje z lozka i ide do kuchni
Nastawie herbate - kawa sie skonczyla
Mocna sobie zrobie, gaz odkrecam
Lecz nie mam zapalek, ostatnia sie skruszyla
Nudzi mi sie - wracam do pokoju
Radio sobie wlacze, klade sie do wyra

Dajcie!
Dajcie mi robote!

Overall Meaning

The song "Nudzi Mi Sie" by Piersi is a satirical commentary on the mundanity of everyday life. The lyrics express the boredom of the singer, who seems to find no escape from the monotony, whether it's reading the newspaper, watching TV, or making tea. The song touches on political issues, such as reading about the Bolsheviks and Solidarity, or the war in Yugoslavia, but the singer seems more interested in finding something to do than engaging in any meaningful discussion. He wants a job, any job, just to help him pass the time.

The singer's attitude is reminiscent of a larger societal problem. People today are often disengaged from the world around them, and although they may have access to information, they have little interest in understanding it. There is a sense of helplessness in the lyrics, as the singer is unable to find purpose or meaning in his daily life. The repetition of the refrain "Dajcie mi robote!" (Give me work!) reinforces this sense of aimlessness.

The song "Nudzi Mi Sie" was released in 1992, during a time of political and social change in Poland. It was performed by the band Piersi, which was formed by members of the popular rock group Lady Pank. The lyrics were written by Jacek Kukiz, who is also the lead singer of the band.
