T.Love started as a punk rock band “Teenage Love Alternative” in Częstochowa (Poland) in 1982. The lineup at that time consisted of Zygmunt “Muniek” Staszczyk (vocalist), Janusz Konorowski (guitarist), Dariusz Zając (keyboardist) and Jacek Wudecki (drummer). They quickly gained popularity, partly due to their infamous habit of giving shows under influence, and were chosen to perform during Jarocin Festival in 1984. The band changed their name to T.Love in 1987, and went on a 2-year hiatus in 1989. Staszczyk reactivated the band in 1991 with a new lineup and more pop rock sound. Today, T.Love are: Jacek Perkowski, Maciej Majchrzak (guitarists), Sidney Polak (drummer), Paweł Nazimek (bass player) and Michał Marecki (keyboardist). The band has achieved commercial success, bringing many of their songs to the first places of musical charts.

Henry Kadzidlo
T.Love Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Henry Kadzidło wielki chłop
Przez życie szedł jak smukły czołg
Tysiące kobiet wokół niego
Diabeł mu leje strzemiennego

Henry Kadzidło mówi mi
Że w bagnie dziś po uszy tkwi
I tylko puszcza go zrozumie

Rży jak wilk w jesienną noc

Czasami człowiek niewiele może
Kiedy gromadzą się chmury złe
Wyje jak pies zupełnie sam
Jak zbity kundel skąd ja to znam
La la la la la la
La la la la la laj hej

Henry Kadzidło zdrady król
Zdradzany zdradzał własny ból
Kobiety przeciwniczki jego
Diabeł mu daje strzemiennego
Henry Kadzidło mówi mi
Sukom nie ufaj szkoda krwi
Bo żadna z nich nie zrozumie
Tęsknoty Twojej w zimową noc

Czasami człowiek niewiele może
Kiedy gromadzą się chmury złe
Wyje jak pies zupełnie sam jak zbity kundel skąd ja to znam
La la la la la la
La la la la la laj hej

La la la la la la
La la la la la laj hej
