Renata Przemyk w… Read Full Bio ↴Renata Przemyk is a Polish singer and music writer.
Renata Przemyk was born on 10th February 1966 in Bielsko-Biała, where she attended primary and secondary school. She enjoyed her childhood together with her parents, grandmother and brothers. After finishing school, Renata moved to Katowice and began to study Czech philology at University of Silesia.
In 1994 she moved to Cracow, and at the end of 1999 she decided to lead quiet life in the country near Cracow, away from the fuss of a big city, which enabled her to compose, make arrangements of her own songs and bring up her daughter in a peaceful atmosphere.
Her career as a singer started when she was a teenager, by singing with local rock bands. However, the real calling for music she developed during her studies when she was inspired by the music of Tom Waits, Talking Heads and Frank Zappa. As a result of it, she started a band named "Ya Hozna" in 1989.
Although the fact, that the group lasted only for a year, they managed to release an album entitled "Ya Hozna", the album that revealed unique and original musical style of Renata Przemyk. After her music began to catch on, she started her solo career.
As an independent artist Renata has recorded and edited the following albums: "Mało zdolna szansonistka" (1992), "Tylko kobieta" (1994), "Andergrant" (1996), "Hormon" (1999), "Blizna" (2001), "Balladyna" (2002) - soundtrack from a play directed by Jan Machulski, "The best of" (2003) - a compilation of her most interesting songs, "Unikat" (2006).
From the beginning of her artistic path, she has been accompanied by her dearest friend and manager - Anna Saraniecka, who at the same time is the author of all lyrics. Mature and wise lyrics have the same importance for Renata's songs as the music, and are integral part of creating the unusual nature of her work.
Most of Renata's albums were awarded with a status of "golden album" for selling over 50.000 copies. Moreover, they were nominated and awarded many times - mostly for artistic individuality.
From the beginning of her career, the singer has also won numerous awards in various festivals in which she took part, including first prize in the festival in Cracow, "Karolinka" in Opole and "Bursztynowy Slowik" in Sopot.
As an artist that connects rock sounds with poetry and theatrical performance she could both perform - on the stage of a rock festival in Jarocin, and on prestigious festivals of stage song that took place in Wrocław and Köln. She has given concerts in France (Normandy, Britany, Paris) and in the USA (New York) but because of lyrics written in native language, she prefers to perform in front of the Polish publicity which can fully appreciate the words and also sing the songs with her.
Although, she has got many interests such as: art, cinema, the 19th and 20th century literature, modern theatre and drawing her own graphics, the most important for her is always music. She has cooperated with many artists but if it's for her art - she's always the only one who produces her ventures and decides about their character.
It is hard to classify her music - neither rock nor alternative nor poetry can describe what's deep inside it. She calls her music "an everlasting search for tones, sounds, emotions and climates not similar to anything that had been made before". That's why each album is different from the previous one. Nevertheless, there is always one motif in common - on every album we can hear the sound of accordion, an instrument the artist likes, despite all trends and fashions.
An individual and unique style of Renata's music has its origin in post-punk tones. However, the artist has been constantly using various instruments in her musical career. The electronic sounds were used for the first time by Renata on an album entitled "Hormon" in 1999, which at the same time was the first album composed by her. Since then she and the author of lyrics Anna Saraniecka have been the only "parents" of Renata's successes.
What is more, in plebiscites of two most important Polish weeklies - Polityka and Wprost, Renata has been chosen one of the most important artists of the last century.

Renata Przemyk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tulisz się przez sen myślisz pożądaniem
Wiesz czego chcę nim sama o tym wiem
Nie okłamiesz mnie
Na nic nie żal ci aż uwierzę
Że już po sam grób tak będziemy leżeć
Kwiaty znosisz mi znosisz moje łzy
Zawsze my wciąż ja i ty
Już nie pytasz a chciałbyś wiedzieć więcej
Wiesz czego chcesz już coraz mniejszy gest
Obejmuje mnie
Ledwo znosisz a mnie nosiłeś
Prawie całą noc bez użycia siły
Stale lubisz mnie jakby trochę mniej
Jeszcze my wciąż ja i ty
Mocno kochasz lecz już najbardziej siebie
Piekło robisz w dzień by być w siódmym niebie
Gdy czar już prysł to w pole każdy zmysł
Wyprowadza nas
Bierzesz mnie co krok na sumienie
Nawet twój skok w bok nic już nie odmieni
Widzisz we mnie cel a ja w tobie pal
Już nie my a jeszcze żal
Już nie kochasz mnie krzyczysz bez powodu
Wszędzie cichy wrzask albo jęk zawodu
Wiem czego chcesz od rana aż po zmierzch
Wciąż zabijasz mnie
Kwiaty przynoś mi tylko świerze
Na moj nowy grób w którym sama leżę
Ty się do mnie módl miłość aż po grób
Piękny ślub a żywy trup
The lyrics to Renata Przemyk's song "Aż po grób" are about a toxic and dysfunctional love relationship. The song starts off with the idea that if the person loves the singer, then they are like velvet and think of her with desire. She knows what they want before they even tell her, and they cannot deceive her. The singer believes that they will lie together in the grave, and the person does not care about that fact; they want her, and they are willing to do anything to keep her. The relationship is intense and all-encompassing; the person brings her flowers and wipes her tears, but he loves her a little less each day.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the person is more concerned with himself than with the singer. He creates hell on earth to be in heaven, and when the spell breaks, every sense leads them out into the fields. The person takes every step with the singer, but it weighs heavily on him, and he almost collapses from the exhaustion. The relationship comes to a rupture point where the lover screams and yells without reason, and the singer understands the relationship is over. The person's desire for her has not waned, but it is killing her.
Overall, the song is a nuanced commentary on love and relationships that can be both powerful and frightening. The lyrics speak about an intense love that borders on obsession, and the subject uses flowers to express their love. Still, it comes with a heavy price that leads to the destruction of the singer. The song is a warning to be careful with the people we choose to love and be loved by, and not all love is worth the sacrifice.
Line by Line Meaning
Jeśli kochasz mnie jesteś jak aksamit
If you love me, you are as gentle as velvet
Tulisz się przez sen myślisz pożądaniem
You creep into my dreams and think of desire
Wiesz czego chcę nim sama o tym wiem
You know what I want, even before I do
Nie okłamiesz mnie
You will not deceive me
Na nic nie żal ci aż uwierzę
You don't care about anything, I'll believe you anyway
Że już po sam grób tak będziemy leżeć
That we'll lie like this until we're both in the grave
Kwiaty znosisz mi znosisz moje łzy
You bring me flowers and wipe away my tears
Zawsze my wciąż ja i ty
Always us, still me and you
Jeśli kochasz to chwytasz mnie za serce
If you love me, you grab my heart
Już nie pytasz a chciałbyś wiedzieć więcej
You no longer ask, but you want to know more
Wiesz czego chcesz już coraz mniejszy gest
You know what you want, but with each passing gesture, it gets smaller
Obejmuje mnie
You hold me tight
Ledwo znosisz a mnie nosiłeś
You can barely take it, but you used to carry me all night
Prawie całą noc bez użycia siły
Almost all night, without using any strength
Stale lubisz mnie jakby trochę mniej
You still like me, but it feels like a little less
Jeszcze my wciąż ja i ty
Still us, me and you
Mocno kochasz lecz już najbardziej siebie
You love strongly, but now you love yourself the most
Piekło robisz w dzień by być w siódmym niebie
You make hell during the day to be in seventh heaven
Gdy czar już prysł to w pole każdy zmysł
When the magic fades, every sense runs in different directions
Wyprowadza nas
It leads us astray
Bierzesz mnie co krok na sumienie
You take me every step of the way on your conscience
Nawet twój skok w bok nic już nie odmieni
Even your sidestep won't change anything now
Widzisz we mnie cel a ja w tobie pal
You see a goal in me, and I see a fire in you
Już nie my a jeszcze żal
It's not us anymore, but there is still regret
Już nie kochasz mnie krzyczysz bez powodu
You no longer love me, you scream for no reason
Wszędzie cichy wrzask albo jęk zawodu
Everywhere, a silent scream or cry of disappointment
Wiem czego chcesz od rana aż po zmierzch
I know what you want from morning until dusk
Wciąż zabijasz mnie
You still kill me
Kwiaty przynoś mi tylko świeże
Bring me only fresh flowers
Na moj nowy grób w którym sama leżę
To my new grave where I lie alone
Ty się do mnie módl miłość aż po grób
You pray to me, love until the grave
Piękny ślub a żywy trup
A beautiful wedding, but a living dead
