rewolucja
Pogodno Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I zawsze będzie Nowa Huta
Oni pierwsi my zaraz potem
Nie będzie żadnej rewo-lululu
Nie będzie żadnej rewolucji
Dupę grzeje i się śmieje
Don't talk about revolution,
there will always be Nowa Huta. These lyrics by the Polish band Pogodno in their song "Rewolucja" are a commentary on social and political change. Nowa Huta was a planned socialist realist city built by the communist government of Poland after World War II. It was meant to serve as an ideological model for other cities being built under communist rule. The song's lyrics suggest that despite talk of revolution and change, in the end, the same structures and systems will persist.
The second verse "Oni pierwsi my zaraz potem" ("They first, us right after") suggests a continuum of power structures, with some groups always at the top and others following. The repetition of "Nie będzie żadnej rewolucji" ("There will be no revolution") points to a sense of resignation and cynicism toward the idea of significant change.
Overall, the song offers a commentary on the cyclical nature of power and the persistence of systems of oppression. The references to Nowa Huta specifically highlight the legacy of communism in Poland and its lasting impact on the country's politics and culture.
