Do Widzenia Teddy
Anna Maria Jopek · Szeptem [1998]
Nie zostawi³ Teddy na tym Å“wiecie bowiem zmar³.
Mówi³ on gdy umiera³, bêdê ja wam gra³ nieraz,
Bo i was te¿ przecie¿ nie ominie tamten Å“wiat.
¯onê os³a ani ¿adnej rzeczy która jest,
Nie zostawi³ Teddy na tym Å“wiecie graj¹c jazz.
Sk¹d braæ czas i pieni¹dze, kiedy gra siê na tr¹bce,
Przecie¿ to jest diabelski instrument ka¿dy wie.
Niejeden z was zap³akaæ wola³by, a ja te¿,
Ale wiem ¿e jemu to nie potrzeba.
Oprócz jazzu nie ma dlañ radoÅ“ci tam i tu.
Teddy by³ muzykiem z krwi i koÅ“ci szkoda s³ów.
Bluesa, Luis i Å“wiêci maszeruj¹ na cmentarz,
Aby mu graæ wszystko to, co lubi³ grywaæ tu
Do Widzenia Teddy
Anna Maria Jopek's 'Do Widzenia Teddy' stands as a poignant centerpiece on her 1998 album *Szeptem*, embodying the introspective and melancholic style that defined her late 1990s work. The track reflects Jopek's signature ability to weave personal narrative with universal themes of longing and memory, characteristic of the Polish pop-rock landscape of that era. Released during a period where she was refining her vocal delivery and songwriting maturity, the recording captures a specific emotional resonance that became a staple of her discography. The song's enduring appeal lies in its atmospheric production and Jopek's emotive performance, which have cemented its status as a defining piece of her artistic journey. It remains a key listen for those exploring the evolution of her sound from her early hits to her later, more mature compositions.
