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.

Bo jeśli tak ma być
Renata Przemyk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nie przynoś ładnych słów
Bo jeśli tak ma być to wolę nigdzie nie wychodzić już
Czuję że w takich słowach anioły śpią
Lecz ciągle nie ma w nich mnie
Niepotrzebna wcale mi
Taka miłość do krwi
Wyje duszy każdy kant
Nic nie powiem domyśl się
Czemu mi z tobą źle
W łóżku pomięty płaszcz w popielniczce kurz
Przed drzwiami leży głaz
Bo jeśli tak ma być to wolę żebyś nie przychodził już
Żaden wróg nigdy więcej nie powie mi
Co warto znosić dla chwil
Niepotrzebna wcale mi...
The lyrics to Renata Przemyk's song "Bo jeśli tak ma być" (Because If That's How It's Meant to Be) describe a relationship that is strained and possibly coming to an end. The singer has a few requests before the other person crosses the threshold, and one of those requests is for them not to bring pretty words. The singer would rather stay home than hear words that sound nice but do not have any real meaning or connection to them. The singer feels that even though these words may contain angels sleeping within them, there is still no mention of the singer, making them unnecessary. The singer explains that it is a love that only feeds on their soul, and every corner of the heart screams out. The singer can't express it with words, and the other person must guess why things are difficult. The song ends with a rumpled coat and a gravestone-like rock outside the door, with the singer preferring that the other person never comes back.
The song is full of raw emotion and captures the feelings of a person who is feeling disillusioned with a relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer might be tired of putting in so much effort into a relationship that has become one-sided. The use of "pretty words" suggests that the singer is tired of empty words that do not hold any weight. The singer's reference to "angels that sleep," suggests that the other person is not really listening to the singer, even when they think they are being comforting. The lyrics also convey that the singer is tired of feeling used and that their love is only taking away from their soul.

Mam tylko kilka próśb nim przekroczysz próg
I have only a few requests before you enter
Nie przynoś ładnych słów
Don't bring pretty words
Bo jeśli tak ma być to wolę nigdzie nie wychodzić już
If it has to be this way, I would rather not go anywhere
Czuję że w takich słowach anioły śpią
I feel that angels sleep in such words
Lecz ciągle nie ma w nich mnie
But there is still not me in them
Niepotrzebna wcale mi
I don't need them at all
Taka miłość do krwi
Such love to the bone
Wyje duszy każdy kant
Every corner howls out souls
Wśród czterech ścian
Among four walls
Nic nie powiem domyśl się
I won't say anything, guess it yourself
Czemu mi z tobą źle
Why do I feel bad with you
W łóżku pomięty płaszcz w popielniczce kurz
A crumpled coat in the ashtray by the bed
Przed drzwiami leży głaz
A rock lies in front of the door
Bo jeśli tak ma być to wolę żebyś nie przychodził już
If it has to be this way, I'd rather you didn't come anymore
Żaden wróg nigdy więcej nie powie mi
No enemy will ever tell me again
Co warto znosić dla chwil
What is worth enduring for moments
Niepotrzebna wcale mi...
I don't need them at all...

Oj PRZYSIĘGAM!!! Z 300 lat temu to była piosenka, która w wieży leciała na okrągło po 50 razy
- Mam singla!
- Młodzi pewnie nie zrozumieją...
- zawsze, kiedy jako młody człowiek, chciałem się zabić z klasą ;-)
Gdy otwierałem okno, muzyka na 100 (bo więcej się nie dało), słyszało tą piosenkę z 1/3 mojej rodzinnej wsi. Po różnych podejściach rodzina przestała wówczas wchodzić do pokoju.
A ja przestawałem mieć chęć do samozagłady zanim ta piosenka wybrzmi (któryś raz) do końca.
Widocznie tak miało być!
Dziękuję Renato!

Kwintesencja lat 90tych... kiedy muzyka musiała nieść ze sobą coś wartościowego...
@grazynakuzyna6359
Czemu ciągle ta retoryka, ze kiedyś to było? Teraz tez jest dobra muzyka gitarowa, której trudniej jest się przebić, bo młodzi słuchają gowna, a starzy tego, czego słuchali e latach 90 - np. taki numer https://youtu.be/DWGPxdwN0g0 zajebiste gitary, dobry tekst, klimat, młoda artystka
@JacekSoplicaofficial
@@grazynakuzyna6359 nie wiem czy zdajecie sobie z tego sprawę, ale my 'młodzi' słuchamy piosenek z lat 90-tych ale angielskie a nie polskie, bo te polskie, zupełnie szczerze, są okropne i zaczynają być nudne po 2 minutach + teraz też powstaje dobra muzyka, nawet lepsza niż kiedyś, ale wy 'starzy' myślicie że słuchamy tylko jakiegoś rapu, który faktycznie jest gównem, a my słuchamy zupełnie innych rzeczy
