Skrzydła Lyrics (English Translation) – Tede

Skrzydła (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
In this verse, Tede talks about his unique style and how people are surprised by his energy and creativity. He mentions Krzysztof Ibisz, a famous Polish TV personality, and the program he’s on, suggesting that he’s part of the new wave in the media. He reflects on how his life experiences are captured in his music, each song representing a part of his journey. Tede says that the “kid” inside him is gone because he has matured, and now his life is a collection of these stories. He also mentions how people don’t fully understand him, even when he tries to explain. He compares himself to Benjamin Button, suggesting that he’s not aging in the traditional sense, or that he’s living his life the way he wants, not caring about others’ opinions. Despite criticism, Tede stays true to himself, living as an artist (MC) and setting his own path, regardless of what others might say about him. He’s confident in his choices and unapologetic about living his life as he sees fit.

[Chorus]
Tede expresses a connection with his listeners, feeling that they share the same desire to “outsmart” time. He emphasizes living fully and staying young at heart, as long as the passion for music is alive. The line “age is just a number” suggests that as long as they have energy and music in their lives, they are timeless. Tede highlights this sense of freedom and vitality, suggesting that youth is not defined by age, but by the way you live and the joy you get from what you do.

[Verse 2]
Here, Tede talks about people who criticize him for not following society’s rules, but he questions what “appropriate” even means. He confidently declares that he’s a phenomenon, someone who is unique and doesn’t fit the typical mold. He mentions his journey from ordinary places to extraordinary ones (Kaufland to Kathmandu), signaling his willingness to take unconventional paths. Tede compares himself to wine, getting better with age, while rejecting the “Babylon” (a metaphor for a corrupt or mainstream system). He’s ready for another adventure, and his energy is unstoppable. The fire inside him keeps him feeling young and alive, and his raps reflect his ongoing journey. He also reflects on the years that have passed but notes that he’s still here, still pushing forward. Tede wonders if his longevity is because of his rap career, but he’s uncertain. He tells people not to give him advice because it holds him back, and instead, he values the connection with his loyal followers (“japs”). They understand him, and he feels at home with them, rejecting any negativity or outside influence.

[Chorus]
In this extended chorus, Tede repeats the message that he feels a shared bond with others who are also defying time and living with a youthful spirit. He emphasizes the importance of music in keeping the heart young and free. Tede believes that, as long as music is alive in their hearts, they are ageless, flying high on “spread-eagle wings” – a metaphor for feeling unstoppable and free. He keeps reinforcing the idea that age doesn’t matter when your heart is full of passion and youthfulness, and that the joy of life comes from living it authentically, with music as the driving force. This chorus captures the essence of defying time and living for the present moment, connected with others who feel the same way.
