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 ↴
By blisko siebie przetrwać w nim do rana
Nieważne kto jak tańczy
Lecz by wzruszenia trzymał na kolanach
Ty wszystkie moje zmysły
I świeże kwiaty nosisz w butonierce
Gdy trzymasz mnie za rękę
To nawet w starej ładnie mi sukience
Dopóki w nas muzyka gra
Nie oddam cię
Nie oddasz mnie
Nieważne nic
Gdy stopy walczą
Pierścionek się zaplątał
Gdy kryłam usta w twojej marynarce
Schowałeś mnie w ramionach
By tylko dla mnie wciąż pieszczoty niańczyć
I to nie smutne wcale
Że tak będziemy tańczyć długie lata
I później gdy upłynął
I my będziemy a nie będzie świata
Więc tańczmy szybko...

Line by Line Meaning
Ten taniec nam wystarczy
We don't need anything else but this dance
By blisko siebie przetrwać w nim do rana
To stay close to each other until morning by dancing
Nieważne kto jak tańczy
It doesn't matter how we dance
Lecz by wzruszenia trzymał na kolanach
But to hold emotions on our knees
Ty wszystkie moje zmysły
You're all my senses
I świeże kwiaty nosisz w butonierce
And you wear fresh flowers in your lapel
Gdy trzymasz mnie za rękę
When you hold my hand
To nawet w starej ładnie mi sukience
Even in my old pretty dress
Więc tańczmy szybko
Let's dance quickly
Dopóki w nas muzyka gra
While there is still music in us
Nie oddam cię
I won't give you away
Nie oddasz mnie
You won't give me away
Nieważne nic
Nothing else matters
Gdy stopy walczą
When our feet compete
Pierścionek się zaplątał
The ring tangled itself
Gdy kryłam usta w twojej marynarce
When I buried my lips in your sailor coat
Schowałeś mnie w ramionach
You hid me in your arms
By tylko dla mnie wciąż pieszczoty niańczyć
To still caress me like a nanny, just for me
I to nie smutne wcale
And it's not sad at all
Że tak będziemy tańczyć długie lata
That we'll dance like this for many years
I później gdy upłynął
And later when it's gone
I my będziemy a nie będzie świata
We'll still be, even if there's no world
Więc tańczmy szybko...
So let's dance quickly...

Jak slucham tego kawalka ,- to nic nie istnieje naprawde, tylko ten kawalek i marzenia, - te niespelnione ..Czasami mysle, ze lepiej jest zyc marzeniami niespelnionymi ,,bo nie ma nic gorszego jak rozczarowanie.
