PRELUDE
(C.Niemen - N. Simon)
CD "Mourner's Rhapsody" N&N Records 1993
MAN, ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFETIME
ARE BUT A SECOND...
YOU ARE HERE TODAY,
AND TOMORROW GONE
MAN, IT MATTERS NOT
HOW MIGHTY YOU ARE
FOR YOUR BRIEF MOMENT
FROM THE EARTH YOU ARE FORMED
AND TO EARTH YOU RETURN
Lilacs And Champagne
Lyrics: Norman Simon
Music: Czesław Niemen
LP "Mourner's Rhapsody" CBS 1974
Lilacs and champagne
A sweet and bubbly trip
The widow lost her grip
And Peter’s gonna slip
Lilacs and champagne
Keep running through my head
Be quiet someone said
The baby may be dead
Why did you cry
When the summer said goodbye
Don’t you know there must be fall and winter ,too?
All Hallow’ s Day
When your mother came to stay
I could see our summer love was through
Lilacs and champagne
Keep messing up my mind
Please don’t be unkind
If I leave our past behind
Just say I’m blind
If I leave our past behind
Just say I’m blind
If I leave our past behind
Just say I’m blind
If I leave our past behind
Strange Is This World
Music & Lyrics: Cz. Niemen
LP CBS 1972
Oh, strange is this world
Well, still it seems
There's so far so much evil
And strange it is / that since long ago
Man despises man.
Oh, strange this world
Of human affairs
Sometimes I'm ashamed to be in it
Oh, so often /a man can kill
With a bad word or still a knife.
But most people are of good will
I - thanks to them - believe
That this world should never, never die
And now, the time has come
The final time for hatred, for hatred
To destroy itself.
Ode to Venus
Music: Cz. Niemen, J. Skrzek
Lyrics: Cz. Niemen/P.Brodowski
LP "Ode to Venus" CBS 1973
Hear my tuneless songs
That found a way to rhymes of pain
I have praised you long,
Long before I knew your name.
O Goddess of all spheres
The fairest soul my eyes have seen
The riddle of your fears
Conceals a proud , inhuman queen.
You’re all divine , you’re all but mine
To my love there is no end
It’s grown beyond the false or true
Eternity is my best friend
I’ll wait for you.
I have sung my heart of hearts
My own true self
I haven’t lied with but one sound
And you were unable
To colour the paleness of your cheeks
With a blush of confusion.
O wretched creature
Do you now how much tenderness
Has a branchy , weeping willow
Listening intently to the music
Of the wind –its supreme lord ?
Bowing by the roadside
Hasn’t it more beauty
Than the proudly, silent splendor
Of your marble countenance ?
Listen thou to the last complaint
Of my restless blood
And be thou born of the spirit
And be thou blessed without the halo
Without a crown of glory.
O Venus
I dreamed of love, now new begun
I learned you too can gleam
O Venus, Venus, Venus
My song is sung, my prayer’s done
Thought cold, your stars will beam!
"Little wing"
Music & Lyrics J.Hendrix
LP "Little Wing"Kciuk/Niemen Arston 1983
Well, she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running wild
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind
When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me free
It's alright, she says, it's alright
Take anything you want from me,
Anything
--------------------------------------
Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running wild
Butterflies and zebras
End moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind
When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me, free
It's alright, she says , it's alright
Take anything you want from me
Anything (aahh-ah-ahhh)
Fly little wing, yeah, yeah
Fly little wing, yeah, yeah
It's alright, she says , it's alright
Take anything you want from me

I've Been Loving You Too Long
Music: Redding
Lyrics: Butler
LP "Strange Is This World" CBS 1972
I've been loving you
I've been loving you too long, darling
I don't wanna stop now
You were tied
And you want to be free
My love is growing stronger
As you become a habit to me
I've been loving you a little too long
I don't wanna stop now
With you, my life
Has been so wonderful
I don' want to stop, now
You were tied
And your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger
As our affair, grow old
I've been loving you too long,
Oh, darling
I'don't wanna stop now
I love you so
I love you
I don't wanna stop now
With you, my life
Has been so wonderful
I don' want to stop now
You were tied
And you want to be free
My love is growing stronger
As you become a habit to me
I've been loving you a little too long
I don't wanna stop now

It brings a tear into my eyes
When I begin to realize
I"ve cried so much since you've been gone
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
I've been crying just likea child
My pouring tears are running wild
If you don't think you'll be home soon
I guess I'll drown, oh yeah, in my own tears
I know it's true
Into each life
Oh, some rain, rain must pour
I'm so blue
Here without you
It keeps raining more and more
Why don't you come home so I won't be all alone
If you don't think youi'' be home soon
I Guess I'll (drown in my own tears

When I'm in trouble, baby (drown in my own tears)
Oh, don't let me (drown in my own tears)

Come in sister
Papa's in the den
Ain't too hip

It ain't no drag
Papa's got a brand new bag
He's doing the jerk
He's doing the fly
Don't play him cheap
You know he's not shy
The mash potatoes, the alligator
Jump back Jack
See you later alligator
Come in sister
Papa's in the den
Ain't too hip
'Bout that new breed dance
It ain't no drag
Papa's bought himself a brand new bag
Come on now, hey, hey
Come on
He's out of sight
He's uptight
Come on and groove me
Oh you're out of sight
He's doing the twist
He's doing the fly
Don't play him cheap

1969 – Cz. Niemen i Akwarele w Titan Club Roma
Hey jude, dont make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.
Hey jude, dont be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.
And anytime you feel the pain, hey jude, refrain,
Dont carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.
Hey jude, dont let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.
So let it out and let it in, hey jude, begin,
Youre waiting for someone to perform with.
And dont you know that its just you, hey jude, youll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.
Hey jude, dont make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then youll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.

If I only had time
Only time
So much to do
If I only had time
If I only had time
Dreams to pursue
If I only had time
They'd be mine
Time like the wind
Those are hurrying by
And the hours just fly
Where to begin
There are mountains I'd climb
If I'd time
Since I met you I've glored
Life really is to short
Lovin' you
So many things
We could make true
A whole century
Isn't enough
To satisfy me
So much to do
If I only had time
If I only had time
Dreams to pursue
If I only had time
They'd be mine
Mmmmm
If I only had time
Only time
Mmmmm

Watch it
I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right. I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a Gas! Gas! Gas!
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a Gas! Gas! Gas!
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead.
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head.
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a Gas! Gas! Gas!
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas

Mourner’ s Rhapsody
Music: Czesław Niemen
Lyrics: C.K.Norwid/Norman Simon
Shadow why are you leaving
Lying with your hands on your armor plate
Torches light up the coffin
Sparks play around your knees
Your sword green with laurel
Covered with candle drippings
Like mourner’s tears
Your falcon crying, and
Your horse kicking up his legs
Like a dancer
Streamers flowing
And chatting with each other in the wind
Streamers like
An army of tents flapping in the sky
Trumpets sobbing a song
That can break a heart of stone
Symbols of another day
Bow their heads and clap their wings
Dragons pierced by spears
Lizards and fabulous birds
Proclaiming honor to you
A legend in our own times
Mourning maidens bearing jasmine
Raise the sprays giving off perfume
Other maidens fill the vases
With their teardrops
Still others tear their hair
Searching for a way to show their sorrow
Though the road of grief was paved ages ago
Maidens smashing
Pottery do the ground in their grief
Others stumble on their way chanting
“Clay unto clay”
Young men swing axes at the sky
Angry at their loss
Serving men striking their shields
‘til streams of sparks fly out
Huge flags rising from the smoke
Higher and higher
Huge flags rising from the smoke
And soaring up to the sky
Slowly the mourners march ever downward
Sinking into the Earth
And than they march again into the moonlight
Illuminated by the call light of a star
Afraid to fall
Voices fill the night
And wash away like a wave
Onward, onward
Until we march right into the grave
Onward ‘til we see
The blackness beyond the grave
Onward ‘til we can no longer escape the depths
We will stop your horse
With the thrust of a spear
Screaming the procession
Brings sadness into the village
Striking screams against the gates
Like whistling axes
Making Jericho’s wall fall down like falling logs
Waking sleeping nations
Lifting darkness from their eyes
Onward, onward…
Spinning Wheel
Music & Lyrics D. C. Thomas
L 10'' CGD Demo Recording Italy 1969
what goes up must come down
spinnin' wheel got to go 'round
talkin' 'bout your troubles it's a cryin' sin
ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel spin
you got no money and you got no home
spinnin' wheel all alone
talkin' 'bout your troubles and you never learn
ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel turn
did you find the directing sign on the
straight and narrow highway
would you mind a reflecting sign
just let it shine within your mind
and show you the colors that are real
someone is waiting just for you
spinnin' wheel, spinnin' true
drop all your troubles by the riverside
get your painted pony
on the spinning wheel ride

"I SEARCH FOR LOVE"
I search for love, I search for love
Every hour, every day I search for love
I search for love
When I was born I was crying
And 'til this day I'm crying
With all young lads and lasses
In every face that passes
I search for love, I search for love
Every hour, every day I search for love
They say that I'll discover
For every one there's a lover
So if you're meant for me, girl
Come right into my world
I search for love, I search for love
Every hour, every day I search for love
There's no meaning 'til there's love
There's no feeling 'til there's love
Til you touch me with your fire
I must live without desire
Only you can bring me higher
The road keeps growing longer
And my needs are growing stron
I search for love, I search for love
Every hour, every day I search for love
Help this lonely dancer
Your love's the only answer
I search for love, I search for love
Every hour, every day I search for love
Dance a while with me now
And we will make it somehow
I search for love, I search for love
Every hour, every day I search for love
All I need for living
Is the love you're giving
I search for love, I search for love
Every hour, every day I search for love
1974 – LP “Mourner’s Rhapsody”
Music & Lyrics: Czesław Niemen/ Norman Simon
"I’VE GOT NO ONE WHO NEEDS ME"
The road I ride is lonely
I don't stay any place
Long enough to face
Those everyday things that make for home
I’d settle in, girl, only
A little further down
There is another town
To which I have to roam
To which I have to roam
The time will come for settling
But I know, girl, somehow
There's no time now
For any more than hello and goodbye
If there's something more you're after
Then let's not start at all
So, you won't have to fall
And I won't watch you cry
And I won't watch you cry
I've got no one who needs me
I've got no place that wants me
So I'll stay here with you
If you'll have me
I've got no one who needs me
Won't you let me share your love
One thing I'm certain of Is I need your love
1974 – LP “Mourner’s Rhapsody”
Music & Lyrics: Czesław Niemen/ Norman Simon
"BABY M"
The grass is softly
Trampled by your feet
The stone plops into the lake
And the ripples reach out to me
Through the castle window I see
Your face clearly in the rippled lake
You playfully screw your forehead
Into a mask
And we laugh
The flame of your love
Burns my mind
More and more and more each day
The flame of your love
Won't go away
My elusive Baby M
I wonder here your foot
Is stepping now
Are you smiling into
Someone rise's eyes
Is his love washing over you
And is the castle still there
Or is it all just a dream
That I keep living asleep or awake?
I'll soon know – I’m coming home
The flame of your love
Burns my mind
More and more and more each day
The flame of your love
Won't go away
My elusive Baby M

“INSIDE I’M DYING”
Inside I'm dying
Without ypur love, I'm dying
I feel a loneliness so deep
That I forget to eat or sleep
To laugh or weep
Set me free
Or come bjack, come back to me
Inside I’m dying
Without your love, I'm dying
There is no feeling left in me
Stick me with pins and I won't bleed
You are the medicine I need
Set me free
Or come back, come back to me
Inside I'm dying
Without your love, I'm dying
My need for you has stripped my pride
And I no longer try to hide
The emptiness I feel inside
Set me free
Or come back, come back to me

“HALF WAY AROUND THE WORLD”
Traveled halfway around the world
To say hello to you
To sing my song for you
To say how do you do
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
Maybe you'll fmd a place for me
A stranger in this land I hope you
Understand
That we go hand in hand
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
Far, so far away
Across the sea
I first saw the light of day
And I never thought that someday
I would be passing this way
But here I am
Doing all I can
To make you hear what I say
Traveled halfway around the world
To offer you my song
I hope you sing along
To make you feel so strong
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you

“I'M REACHING OUT TO THE PEOPLE”
I'm reaching out to the people
Trying to touch you with my love
I'm reaching out to the people
'Cause the world I’m thinking of
Is tough and demanding
Needs love and understanding
So I'm reaching out to the people with my love
The dreamer can see in his mind a world
In which everyone is free
The poet with his tender words
Brings the dream to you and me
And I sing my song to you
That's all I do
The lover's tender with the one he loves
So she will know he cares
And It takes love for all of us
To trust the world we share
I’ll be one of your friends...
I will be there
I'm reaching out to the people
Trying to touch you with my love
I'm reaching out to the people
Trying to touch you with my love
I'm reaching out to the people
Trying to touch you with my love

Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me, behind me

Its been a hard days night
And Ive been working like a dog
Its been a hard days night
I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I work all day
To get you money to buy you things
And its worth it just to hear you say
Youre gonna give me everything
So why on earth should I moan
Cos when I get you alone
You know I feel okay
When Im home everything seems to be right
When Im home feeling you holding me tight
All through the night
Its been a hard days night
And Ive been working like a dog
Its been a hard days night
I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
Cause when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
When Im home everything seems to be right
When Im home everything ..

But when I get home to you

You're looking good

You're looking good
Just like I knew that you would
When you call my name baby
You call me Mr. Clean
I'm gonna give you lovin' that
You ain't never seen
You're looking good
You're looking so good
You're looking good
Just like I knew that you would
When you wear your wigs baby
You wear your dresses tight
You wear your foxy fur baby
When you step out late at night
You're looking good
You're looking so good
You're looking good
Just like I knew that you would
Momma get your mojo
Papa get your gun
I'm gonna steal your daughter
I'm gonna be your son
You're looking good
You're looking so good
You're looking good
Just like I knew that you would
All right, all right
You make me walk right
Make me talk right
You make he holler, hey, hey, hey
She makes me feel good
She makes me feel good

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me
He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me

Na sympozjum w Opolu zaprezentowano wykonanie przez Czesława Wydrzyckiego nieznane nagrania, pośród nich była klasyczna kantrowa piosenka “Keep It Secret”
(music & lyrics - Jessie Mae Robinson)
The original version is believed to be by Slim Whitman, as "Keep It A Secret" on Imperial 8169, 1952 (recorded in October).
Others are by Bing Crosby & Jo Stafford, Columbia 39891, 1953
and Cliff Shepherd, Choice 840, 1956.
Jessie Mae Robinson later wrote "Let's Have A Party" for Elvis Presley. (This track was cut at the 10/12/1957 sessions)
That's "Keep It A Secret." I know Slim Whitman did it.
As did Ronnie Dove, Gene Vincent, Jo Stafford and Anita Carter.
Jo Stafford had the biggest hit reaching #6 in late 1952 and early
1953. But Ronnie Dove's version is pretty nice. Anita Carter's is VERY
country and she has a beautiful voice. I haven't heard Gene
Vincent's..............yet.
"Keep It A Secret"
If you see, my darling ... with somebody new ...
Keep it a secret ... whatever you do ...
Why should you tell me ... and break my poor heart ...
Then foolish pride would just ... drive us apart ...
If you see, my darling ... in some ren-dez-vous ...
Painting the town ... with a girl he once knew ...
Pay no attention ... and just let it be ...
But keep it a secret ... from me.
Niemen (Czesław Juliusz Wydrzycki) – z kabaretem To-Tu w 1962 w “Podwieczorku przy mikrofonie”.

A Pilgrim
Over states there is the state of states
As a tower over flat houses
Protruding into clouds
You think I’m not a lord
For my house is moveable
Of camel skin
Surely you know I also rest up in heaven
As it carries away my soul
Like a pyramid
Surely you know I also own the land
That my foot covers
Wherever I walk
Wherever I walk
Wherever I walk
Tekst piosenki "Strange is this word", który zamieściła tu Ewa pochodzi z Dyskografii Sklińskigo.
Przesłuchałam płytę o tym samym tytule i wg mnie Niemen śpiewa zgodnie z zamieszczonym tu tekstem.
Jedyny błąd jaki się tutaj wkradł to brak dwóch słów w przedostatniej linijce drugiej zwrotki:
Oh,so often/ a man can kill the bad
Brawo Dominie, tylko o jeden "word" za duzo:
...a man, a man can kill
with a ba-ad, with a bad word as with a knife.
Znów mi coś nie pasuje...
jest:
Oh, strange is this world
Where still it seems
There's so far so much evil
...czego nawet nie potrafię sensownie przetłumaczyc;
("jest do tej pory tak wiele zła"?! "jest do teraz..."?! "jest jak na razie..."?!)
słyszę:
Oh, strange is this world
Where still it seems
There's room for so much evil
W tłumaczeniu znaczyłoby to tyle, co "jest miejsce na tak wiele zła..." - prawie jak "mieści się wiele zła".
Wiem, że tekst (ciekawe, z jakiego źródła) był zamieszczony u Sklińskiego. Nie uważam, że moja znajomość tego języka jest wystarczająca, by móc wyrokować, ale ziarno zwątpienia co do jego poprawności mogę zasiać. W tym wypadku, po wprowadzeniu poprawki, zdanie nabiera większego sensu. Czekam na opinie pozostałych.
W internecie szukałem oczywiście - bezowocnie...
