Znalazła raz pewna pani
Aparat do bani
Z sentymentem wzruszona
Wzięła go w ramiona i
I czule do niego rzekła
Ty jesteś rodem z piekła
A ja jestem rodem z nieba
Nic więcej nie potrzeba
Nic więcej nam nie potrzeba

Ty jesteś starym gratem
Ja cię naprawię zatem
Zmienię ci obudowę
I włożę części nowe i
I będziesz piękny jak dawniej
I będziesz działać sprawnie
Znów pokażesz klasę
I zaświergolisz czasem
A ja cię wsadzę w klatkę
Byś nie odleciał przypadkiem

Będziemy piękni jak dawniej
Będziemy działać sprawniej

Why this is only polish song on RP ? I want more! :)
Can’t understand a word of the lyrics, but a great song nonetheless. Great variety!

It's much more likely that they don't like the song.  I'm not bothered in the least about the language or lyrics, but I wouldn't rate it higher than 5.
Oh, man, long time no hear it! Welcome back to Paradise, Czeslaw ´Spiewa! 
Wow! First polish song seen in RP. 
I thought it would never happen!
So glad and proud 
I love RP :-)

Thank you Guys for playing polish song!! What a surprise!! I’m living in Bavaria (Germany) and I’m listening you each day. Living abroad, hearing polish song in the international  radio was a wonderful feeling!! 
It's so nice to hear a music in some other language:-).

Here's another translation from deepl.com. A little better, I think, but maybe still slightly off:

Once a lady found
Sucker
I was moved with sentiment
She took him in her arms and
And she tenderly said to him
You are from hell.
And I am from heaven
Nothing more is needed
We don't need anything else

You're an old junk.
So I'll fix you
I'm gonna change your housing
And I will insert new parts and
And you will be as beautiful as ever
And you're gonna be fine
You'll show your class again
And you're gonna shine sometimes
And I'll put you in a cage
You wouldn't fly away by accident

We will be beautiful as before
We'll be more efficient
(repeat)
There is a joy to be found in the musicians that transcends the language barrier.  I wouldn't mind hearing this again within the next 30 days.  
There is so much more out there. Awesome world music. Please diversify more.
After years of having limited time and almost never listening to music, I tuned in to RP today.

And just now there was this song that I heard here on RP 3 or 4 years ago and that really went on in my mind for days. I always thought it was music from Bulgaria, Hungary or the like,  and today learned more about it. BTW: Within seconds I hit the 10Points button.

Though not understanding a single word, there is a lot of energy and joy in this great music.
getting a Klezmer vibe form this tune.  
Very strong Cirque du Soleil vibe

This is a very nice song, makes me want to explore Polish music more, even if i don't understand a word of Polish (na zdrowie doesn't count )
Thanks for the diversity played on this station Bill, that's why we love RP!

That so good to hear Polish song in the best radio on this planet !!! Thank you.

OK, that is neat. 
Great to hear Polish music for the first time here (that I hear).
Greetings from a Pole in Paris France
Today I heard Francis Cabrel (favorite French) and Czeslaw Mozil that I never heard about since I do not live in Poland since many many years 
Delightful ... Where else is there the range of music that you find on Radio Paradise
Genres, countries - expanding my listening pleasure...
This is why I listen to Radio Paradise.. to find such treasures....
Nuggets of Joy .... Thank you  for sharing this gem.... 
Slinky plinky.

It's great to hear polish song on radio paradise. Greetings from Poland :)
 Thank you for this great variety!  Dziękuję!
There's eclectic, there's "Something Completely Different" and then these's this. Which... really does not work. Sorry this was just irritating in a non-stimulating way.
Can't believe you're playing Polish song. greetings from Warsaw!!

NB 
Nice language sound >:>)

That "Big Ass" guitar is a guitarron mexicano, the first acoustic bass guitar. It can be as deep as it is wide—the guitarronista is standing to the side for a reason.
 
Dude, Mexico is in North America! 
They speak Spanish due to their colonial inheritance. The Mariachi music is also influenced by the Spanish traditional music although it has a personality of its own for sure. Another thing, if you listen to the "Banda" music, very popular in northern Mexico (and southern United States by the way) it has an odd resemblance to German folk music, particularly if you look at the instruments... you know why? Because of all the Germans that settled in that part of the country and brought the beer industry along. 

So yeah, listening to music in Polish is rather unusual outside of Poland (or Chicago for that matter) but it's interesting to hear songs in other languages, don't you think? 
Was interesting to hear once, maybe twice.  The song sticks with you and difficult to stop from repeatedly playing in your head.  Torture.  
Wow that was certainly ly different 
Genious seldom comes without controversy. Is then controversy a measure of genious? Ever think your prolific commentary may be testiment? 
More crap.  PSD to the rescue
I love this radio. It was so nice to hear Polish music here. More please{#Boohoo}{#Drummer}{#Bananajam}{#Yell}{#Hearteyes}{#Guitarist}
Enough already, I'll tell you what you want to know, no more please!!!!!!! {#Frustrated}

PS. Plizzz try other Polish bands from time to time, there're plenty. See Kroke from my own town and their music, or Krakow Klezmer Band.



 
Barek, not only Czesław. I heard Anita Lipnicka and Riveside, but Czesław in Polish was unexpected and very nice.
Haha, here is that song again, fun. {#Dancingbanana_2}

Toss in a song in Polish and watch the ignoranti emerge to display their full provincial plumage. (facepalm)
What is wrong with people? Non-English music, no thank you? This sounded so great I had to find out who it was...I thought perhaps Gogol Bordello, but no. Thanks for the fresh feed, and I don't think these "opportunists" were asking you for anything. They probably have no clue they're being played on this wonderful station where diverse voices get heard. Lucky us! Now go back to your regularly scheduled program. It's a scary world out there.  
so lovely! thank you for playing it!
Poland? No, thank you!

There are enough opportunists in my country!

Erm, "foreign" is by definition a relative term. I'm afraid to say that, for most of the world's population, English is a "foreign language". Can you say "cultural imperialism"? ;-)

say what you want about the music, people are griping about the fact this isn't in english? are you kidding me? what century are you living in? you know that there is big world out there beyond the united states, don't you? by the way, how many songs have you heard in your life that are sung in english where the words are unintelligible - pearl jam, bob dylan - to name only two. sheesh.

The saddest thing I've ever read on an RP forum.


This is SO funny... I wish you could all understand the lyrics. I could translate later in a free moment :)

At least it's Polish. Could be Hungarian.

Unfortunately, I think I'd hate this song even if the singer were belting out in perfect American English.

I don't agree with you that most songs in non-English tongues are worthless. I think we all have to ask, "Would I like this song or band if I could understand them?" I have no trouble mentally binning a group that gets a "No" when I answer myself. Sigur Rós is the best example off the top of my head: their novelty wore off after listening to them for five minutes.  
Cool.
C'm'on, altogether now !

Czesław Śpiewa is one of the most successful artists from Poland and one of my favourites from that country as well! Refreshing to hear American radio play music in other languages as well.

If somebody wants to check something else from poland, YouTube/google: Gaba Gulka, Lao Che, Hey and of course new stuff from Czesław!

Please, I beg of you, NEVER play this song again. It's beyond awful — in ANY language!!!!
Could I suggest that maybe the people who don't appreciate this song just lack a cultural connection with the music? I mean, there are aspects of this song that remind me of time spent in Central/Eastern Europe, so it evokes memories and feelings. But if I had not had those personal experiences, maybe I would not feel a connection. Know what I mean?

Gave 8.0 just because it's actually a first Polish song ever heard here. BTW his name is Czeslaw Mozil, not Czeslaw Spiewa. "Spiewa" means "Sings" in Polish :-)

PS. Plizzz try other Polish bands from time to time, there're plenty. See Kroke from my own town and their music, or Krakow Klezmer Band.


It's tuneful. Not quite rock and rollish, but I'm sure it plays huge in Poland.  But if I had to listen on a loop — shoot me now and get it over with.

Um, I love a lot of the foreign music I hear on RP and appreciate the challenge to experience something different, but this isn't doing anything for me!
Nice song!
Please play more songs from the "East". The guys, who only listens to music from Europe, USA  etc. of course dont understand such music and cannot feel it. But they can learn and there is a lot of superb music from the East, for example from Russia. There are dozens of rock-bands, who are legends there and whose music is loved by many generations. Too bad, that some of you did not and will never listen to those bands and songs...

You don't hear that all the time. Pretty cool.
This song underline the spectrum of RP. I would like to hear more songs like this. Unknown and unconventional to expand my musical horizon. {#Notworthy}

 Lyrics: however please understand it doesn't make much sense in Polish either. It's just playing with words

Translation is not word-by-word but it matches the sense

Tiltle "Twitting machine"

 

One day a lady found a device lately

And with a sentiment suddenly

She embrased it hardly

And she tell to it softly

You must be from hell surely

and I am from heaven

Nothing we'll need forever

more. Nothing we'll need foreveer

 

You are a piece of crap

So I will repair you up

I'll make you a new chassis

And put new parts to fit

As modern you'll feel

And work as brand new thing

 

First class you'll have as before

and you'll twit more

And I will put you to a cage one day

For you not to fly away

 

First class we'll have as before

and we will twit more

 

First class we'll have as before

and we will twit more...

I'm with you a hundred percent on that one.  I've always been lyric-deaf for some reason.  I just can't understand/differentiate most of what the folks are singing so if necessary, I have to look up the lyrics or read 'em from the liners.  And, no, I didn't catch these lyrics either.

Love those consonants baby!{#Lol}
Could someone who understands the lyrics please provide them in English (however awkward the translation might be)?  I'd love to know what's being sung. I already like the song itself - very quirky and unexpected. Thanks to RP, and to whoever valiantly attempts to translate... {#Mrgreen}
Cool song! Really caught my attention.{#Clap}
