Jacek Zielinski ( voc, tp, viol ), Jan Budziaszek ( dr ), Jerzy Tarsinski ( g ), and Konrad Ratynski ( bg, voc ). The next year the band began with participating in another film, and in March they recorded their second album, "Wszystko mi mowi,ze mnie ktos pokochal". Then they left for their first tour outside Poland, in the USSR.
In 1969 they released "Cala jestes w skowronkach". Almost all the songs from this album became hits. In August and September of that same year SKALDOWIE toured in the USA and Canada. They came back with Hammond organs, and in January 1970 they began recording a very good album, "Od wschodu do zachodu slonca", their first album with a proggy feel, or so I believe. Three months later they recorded their next abum, "Ty". In 1971 and 1972 the band toured the UK and both parts of Germany (they were also in Munich during the 20th Summer Olympic Games), then recorded their next two albums: mainstream, successful "Wszystkim zakochanym" and their first truly prog album, worshipped by Polish prog fans,"Krywan, Krywan". It contains a nearly 18 minutes long suite, "Krywaniu, Krywaniu", in which they blended all their current inspirations: from Polish highlander folk music to forms taken from classical music and even citations from the works of such composers as Bach,Mussorgski, Borodin and Rossini.
In 1976 Skaldowie recorded another pair of albums, "Szanujmy wspomnienia" and "Stworzenia swiata czesc druga", the latter in the vein of "Krywan, Krywan" - also containing an even longer suite. Unfortunately, after that one Skaldowie didn't record any more prog albums. The next albums from the band were "Rezerwat milosci" (1979) and "Droga ludzi" (1980). The latter was recorded on the occasion of the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow; that's why they went on a tour of the USSR. After coming back to Poland the band started recording a double LP, "Zostaw to mlodszym", which would never be released (some of the songs from this album would be released later in 1996 on a compilation CD entitled "Podroz magiczna" ).
At the end of the year Skaldowie went to tour in the USA. When in Poland martial law was enforced in December, Andrzej Zielinski decided to stay in the States, while the other members of the band succesively come back to Poland. The band disbanded soon afterwards.
In 1987 Jacek Zielinski resurrected the band, though without Andrzej Zielinski and Jan Budziaszek,
and in 1989 they released "Nie domykajmy drzwi". However, in 2004 they toured with their classic lineup again, and in May 2006 they also released a new album, "Harmonia swiata".

Skaldowie were one of the first prog bands in the Eastern bloc to record and release albums, and their full-fledged prog releases (especially "Krywan, Krywan") are definitely worth investigating.

Skaldowie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Czy to widział kto czy to widział kto
W naszym mieści szukali króliczka ze świcą
Aż dopadli go aż znaleźli go
Zniknął za rogiem i przepadł jak szyszka
Ale nie płaczmy bo nie o to chodzi
By złowić króliczka ale by gonić go
Czy to widział kto czy to widział kto
Kto nie widział niech w oknie podniesie zasłony
A zobaczy ją a zobaczy ją
Zniknie za rogiem czerwona spódniczka
Ale nie płaczmy nie o to chodzi
By złowić króliczka ale by gonić go
Czy wędrował kto drogą co słońce odchodzi
Czy wędrował kto czy wędrował kto
Kto ciekawy zapraszam do starej mej łodzi
A zobaczy to a zobaczy to
Zniknie za wodą twarz fantastyczna
Ale nie płaczmy bo nie o to chodzi
By złowić króliczka ale by gonić go
Czy kto widział jak biegnie króliczek ulicą
The lyrics to Skaldowie's "Króliczek" depict a frenzied chase for a rabbit as it runs down the street. The opening lines of the song pose a question to the listener, asking if they have ever witnessed a rabbit darting through the city. The following lines reveal that the townspeople were in search of the rabbit, following it until they finally caught it. However, the focus of the song shifts as the second verse introduces a young woman wearing a red skirt. The singer invites anyone who has not seen her to lift the curtains of their window and look outside, insinuating that the woman is a sight to behold. She too disappears around the corner, but the song does not dwell on her absence.
The third verse offers a moment of respite, describing a sunset and inviting those who are curious to come aboard the singer's old boat to witness the mystical sight. However, the singer's thoughts return to the rabbit in the last line, bringing the song full circle. While a literal interpretation of the song may suggest that it is about chasing rabbits and admiring beautiful women, the lyrics can also be read as a metaphor for the excitement and unpredictability of life. It is a reminder to stay curious and keep chasing after the things that capture our attention.

Czy kto widział jak biegnie króliczek ulicą
Has anyone seen the rabbit running down the street?
Czy to widział kto czy to widział kto
Did anyone witness this sight?
W naszym mieści szukali króliczka ze świcą
In our town, they searched for a rabbit with a candle
Aż dopadli go aż znaleźli go
Until they caught him, until they found him
Zniknął za rogiem i przepadł jak szyszka
Disappeared around the corner and vanished like a cone
Ale nie płaczmy bo nie o to chodzi
But do not cry, because that's not the point
By złowić króliczka ale by gonić go
To chase the rabbit, not to capture it
Czy kto widział jak dobrze tej małej w czerwonym
Has anyone seen that pretty little girl in a red dress?
Kto nie widział niech w oknie podniesie zasłony
If anyone hasn't, let them lift up the curtains at the window
A zobaczy ją a zobaczy ją
They will see her, they will see her
Zniknie za rogiem czerwona spódniczka
The red skirt will disappear around the corner
Czy wędrował kto drogą co słońce odchodzi
Did anyone walk the road where the sun sets?
Kto ciekawy zapraszam do starej mej łodzi
Whoever is curious, I invite them to my old boat
Zniknie za wodą twarz fantastyczna
A fantastic face will disappear beyond the water
By złowić króliczka ale by gonić go
To chase the rabbit, not to capture it

Ta piosenka to jest hit!!! Nie o to chodzi by złowić króliczka, ale aby gonić go 🤣🤣🤣 Króliczki kicają, więc trzeba go gonić, logiczne. A oni chcieli łowić go, polowania robili... Nie dziwię się, że byliście ulubionym zespołem mojego taty. Razem z czerwonymi gitarami 🙂💚
@respectos57
Piosenka nie jest oczywiście o króliczku. Agnieszka Osiecka potrafiła umiejętnie przemycać pewne treści, również w piosenkach "Nie ma szatana", "Śpiewam, bo muszę" i in.
