Żyj szybko i giń
Roman Kostrzewski Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sancta Maria perferre.
In nomine passum parinecum evocatio en.
Sancta Maria vitae.
Czy błąd,
że przed dwunastą jeszcze nie,
a po dwudziestej to nie tak?
In nomine sancti matrimonium exemplum en
Sancta Maria post mortem.
In nomine passum parinecum evocatio en.
Sancta Maria quare?
Czy błąd,
że przed dwunastą nie- bo- nie,
a po dwudziestej to nie tak?
Dla ciebie i dla mnie żyj i giń.
The lyrics to Roman Kostrzewski's song Żyj szybko i giń, when translated to English, mean "Live fast and die" or "Live fast and die young." The first four lines are a mix of Latin phrases, with references to the concepts of marriage, sacrifice, and life. The use of Latin here could symbolize the eternal nature of these concepts and highlight their importance. The following two lines ask a rhetorical question: "Is it a mistake that before the 12th hour things aren't as they are after the 20th?" This could be referring to the idea that life is short and precious, and we shouldn't waste time waiting to live it to the fullest.
The chorus repeats the use of Latin phrases, again emphasizing the concept of sacrifice and death, but also invoking the name of Maria, a saint often associated with compassion and mercy. The following lines again pose a question: "Is it a mistake that before the 12th hour things aren't as they are after the 20th?" This time, the line is slightly altered, adding "for you and for me" at the end. This could suggest that the question is not just rhetorical, but could actually have an answer, and that the answer is subjective and dependent on individual perspectives.
Overall, the song seems to be encouraging listeners to live their lives to the fullest, not to wait for opportunities or put things off until it's too late. It also raises questions about the nature of time and how we measure the value of a life.

You guys have no idea this was a considerably popular lost piece of media for some.
@sakalak
It was not a piece of lost media. It was an unidentified song. There's a big difference.
@Edgeedman
Im tired of people saying lost , its unidentified , @sakalak
@canariawing
i found this through a video about (previously, in this case) unsolved/unfound media and i just wanted to say that this song is incredible. the first 44 seconds are very moving and beautiful, and the rest of the song just goes so hard. it reminds me of peter gabriel's music, whose work i'm a huge fan of

Romku... bez względu na to w co kto wierzy (i czy wierzy) - mam nadzieję że trafiłeś do miejsca, gdzie jesteś szczęśliwy. Spoczywaj w pokoju.

Roman nie wierzył w nic był ateistom dlatego raczej nie trafił nigdzie prawdopodobnie wciągała go reinkarnacja
