– Most people think that Czesław Niemen wrote the piece [“Dziwny jest ten świat”]thinking of wars, riots, and the bloody history that has been, is and will be. About political upheavals. Well, none of these things – says Natalia Niemen, who decided to explain what her father wanted to convey to her with the lyrics of a cult song, which we reach for especially often in recent days.
Natalia Niemen: We can confidently translate “Strange is this world” into broader contexts, but let’s remember the author’s intention
Niemen recalls that the canvas for writing “Strange is this world” was “a relationship with one person who smiled at my dad and patted him on the shoulder, and behind his back she stuck a knife into him”.
“Dziwny jest ten świat” is not a political manifesto. It is really an expression of the pain of doing seemingly minor but very hurtful things in a one-on-one relationship. Of course, we can confidently translate this into broader contexts, including the context of what is happening now. With all this, however, let us remember what the author meant
– emphasizes the singer. In the description of the video posted on Instagram, Natalia Niemen adds: “Let’s not add something to Niemen that was not his own. Let’s not over-interpret (is there such a word?), Let’s not attribute exaltation to my dad”.
The day before, Niemen expressed her solidarity with the Ukrainian nation and recalled her drawing made several years ago. “I suddenly realized what this picture of mine 19 years ago was about last week [Instagrama] she put in. Artists are unconsciously prophetic and work subconsciously “- writes the artist.
