German Reaction to To Hey - Arahja (Woodstock2017) 

Please share, like and comment, because of the music, I had to upload it a few times, which RU-vid didn't like. Thank you ❤ Proszę udostępniajcie, lajkujcie i komentujcie, ze względu na muzykę musiałem ją wgrywać kilka razy, co nie spodobało się RU-vid. Dziękuję ❤

That song is about Berlin and Germany. Some verses literally describe the two different cities, like "Lewa strona nigdy się nie budzi, prawa strona nigdy nie zasypia" (The left side never wakes up, the right side never goes to sleep). I'm old so I remember those times. The song was written in 1987, first performed in 1988, and in 1989 there was the end of Communism in Poland. I remember my shock, when several months later they showed in our TV news some Communist march in East Berlin. I was like "Wow, don't they know there that Communism is over?" So to us the East Germany was ever sleeping, while the West Germany was the opposite. Esp. West Berlin seemed like one huge party. At those times everyone read the book "Zoo Station" about a girl addicted to drugs. In Poland the anti-Communist opposition was huge, and nearly every artist tried to smuggle some kind of protest in his works. Since things couldn't be said directly, writing about other places, history, fantasy or sci-fi was a way to walk around the censors (i.e. Witcher by Sapkowski or Solaris by Lem). So to us it's a protest song showing that political oppression leads people to schizophrenia.

Hello Chris I am so happy you chose this song. Your feelings were right. It is protest against Berlins Wall (recorded in 1987 by band KULT) and it is so emotikonal since it shows the split of society and alienation of people living behind the Iron Cutrain. BTW I am so happy to see you in the better mood than yesterday. I was afraid you will give up in discovering Poland. Sending warm regards to you😊

My house that a wall divides The staircase that a wall divides Bathroom on the left side, Stove on the right side My house that a wall divides The staircase that a wall divides Bathroom on the left side, On the right side... My body that a wall divides Ten fingers on the left side Another ten on the right side Head's equal parts On each of the sides My body that a wall divides Ten fingers on the left side Another ten on the right side Head's... My street that a wall divides With neon lights shines the right side Left side lights extinguished From the curtain I watch both of the sides My street that a wall divides With neon lights shines the right side Left side lights extinguished From the curtain I watch both of the sides My street that a wall divides With neon lights shines the right side Left side lights extinguished From the curtain I watch both of the sides Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep Tekst pochodzi z www.tekstowo.pl/piosenka,kult,arahja.html It's about Berlin!

This song is a protest against Berlins wall (song recorded in 1988, a year before the fall of the wall). Its metaphoric lyrics were to avoid censorship. The lyrics are about splitting your house, your body, your street into half. How left side of the street is dark / shut down and right one is shining with colourful neons. How left one never wakes up and right one never goes to sleep. And so on. That's why this song is important for polish people and that's why there is so much emotion behind it. Brcause it's fight for a freedom.

In fact - the powerful singer makes this song even more touching. That's a real artist. She knows what she sings about. It feels like she's literally begging for a peace, for a harmony. And the harmony is so important in our lives and she knows it. Love it!

I am moved always when I hear this performance. The song is old but suits to what is happening now in Poland and many other countries. We are very divided.

Kasia is a girl with incredible charisma. She always was.

Początkowo nazywała się „Nowa piosenka o Berlinie” i pod takim tytułem była grana na koncertach[. Do zmiany nazwy doszło podczas rejestracji utworu w ZAiKS, kiedy okazało się, że ten tytuł już został użyty w innym utworze. W nagraniu muzycy zauważyli podobieństwo partii klawiszy Hammonda do utworu „July Morning” Uriah Heep. Wkrótce w wyniku kombinacji Uriah-Juraja-Araja powstała Arahja, która stała się tytułem piosenki.

I once known a german kid who did not Understand a Word of Polish but knew all the songs of Grzegorz Turnau by hart. That kid could sing all of them perfectly. Good kid i like him very much. He had a very polite and kind way of being. You sometimes remind me of him. Maby you would like his music as well

jak każda piosenka (protest song) odnosi się do konkretnej chwili, tak każda poezja zasługująca na nobla daje się odczytać w sposób uniwersalny w każdym miejscu świata i w wielu sytuacjach. tym tekstem Staszewski wszedł do polskiego kanonu, a zasługuje na kanon światowy. nie znam człowieka, który odebrał ten tekst obojętnie, a Kasia Nosowska, może nie najwybitniejszy polski głos, ale mistrzyni naturalnej ekspresji, oddała całą moc zawartą w (chyba jednak) tej poezji :)

This song is about divisions in society and differences between left and right (she sings about divided, house, body, street, etc.) This song was originally performed by the band Kult and then covered by many others.

I was in the camp there when this concert happen. Everyone, everywhere sang with her.

Good choice to review this song. Iconic. Good job Chris.

Next time try to watch the renewed version of a famous Polish song "Co mi Panie dasz?" (many Polish artists recorded their parts from their homes in the COVID-19 reality and it was later on combined by the conductor Adam Sztaba). I'm curious to see your reaction 😉

In Wirklichkeit ist das ein Lied von Kult

This is not a song of this Singer.Originally it is a song about Mauer in Berlin during communism. It was Polish song about divided Germany. Old song from 1980s.

Taka jest nasza Kasia. Cudowna , wspaniała.

Utwór KULT, też legęda i mocna pozycja

WOW ,rozdziera serce,spiewa historie 😢🤔👏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tłumaczenie tekstu ❤ Arahja Tłumaczenie : My house that a wall divides The staircase that a wall divides Bathroom on the left side, Stove on the right side My house that a wall divides The staircase that a wall divides Bathroom on the left side, On the right side... My body that a wall divides Ten fingers on the left side Another ten on the right side Head's equal parts On each of the sides My body that a wall divides Ten fingers on the left side Another ten on the right side Head's... My street that a wall divides With neon lights shines the right side Left side lights extinguished From the curtain I watch both of the sides My street that a wall divides With neon lights shines the right side Left side lights extinguished From the curtain I watch both of the sides My street that a wall divides With neon lights shines the right side Left side lights extinguished From the curtain I watch both of the sides Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls

Everytime I listen to this I've got goosebumps... Well... we really understand how Germans could feel before the wall collapsed. That's exactly what the song is about.

Hi Chris, if you like learning things about our history (which is also showing much about our mentality) then I highly recommend "I am a Pole - The Legend of Piorun" by Laserpig or "The Polish Madlads Who Made WW2’s GREATEST ESCAPE" by Animarchy History. Both are very enjoyable to watch and contain a true stories, almost unknown outside Poland. Have a nice day!

The song is actually about the divided berlin 😅

Woodstock w Polsce jest co roku.Występuje tam dużo świetnych zespołów np;Agnieszka Chylińska Łydka Grubasa ,Grubson,nawet Mazowsze w nowoczesnym stylu.Dla każdego coś miłego

"Everyone in the crowd knows this song." No. Everyone in the country knows it. Well... Unless they're in kindergarten. Those aren't ready to get it, yet. Once they grow up enough to understand the message, though? 100% sure they'll memorize it in two listens. It's just one of those songs we soak in with age. The words just speak to us on a different, very personal level. There are a few songs that it's simply impossible not to know. Even if you're into EDM or hip hop, there's a few punk rock and pop rock songs with a message that you can't ignore. There's this one, Mury, Wąwóz, A my nie chcemy uciekać stąd... too many to just list off. If the message cuts deep enough, you can't get rid of it. It drills itself into the inside of your skull with large, heavy letters.

Thank you for choosing this song. No more wars, divisions and suffering due to political reasons. Greetings and I hope you feel better after the incident with electricity?

piosenka opisuje świat po obu stronach żelaznej kurtyny jedna to tam gdzie są amerykanie jest wolność itp a druga gdzie są rosjanie i jest źle mój dom murem podzielony dosłownie mówi o murze berliński czyli symbolowi podziału , a metaforycznie o rozdarciu miedzy tym miejscem gdzie się urodziło ojczyzną a wolnością

I'd like to add that the song wasn't originally performed by her, but by Kazik/Kult. A music group that has had, firstly, great impact on Polish music scene and, for me, a great outlook on how the (late) 80's but also 90's worked in my lovely country.

I was there, in that crowd

This is powerfull song of history of ponad durring comunism and WW II. You should listen it with captions.

Piosenkę śpiewa Kasia Nosowska z zespołu Hey , ale to nie ich piosenka , tylko zespołu Kult , posłuchaj piosenki Hey - Moja i twoja nadzieja , niewiem czy ten zespół jeszcze istnieje

Yeah I think it would be great if someone sang it in German and make this song popular in Germany.

Hey ❤ I love this band ❤

WATCH MORE VIDEOS FROM WOODSTOCK/ POLANDROCK FESTIVAL 1. Actually for You as a German this song could be more important than to us. 2. Its even not her song- its song of band called Kult- pretty legendary in Poland. I would say its like Beatles or Pink Floyd for Polish people- but more... Polish. More brute, very true and observative- its hard to describe. 3. Its not like every concert in Polsand is like that, that is Polandrock festival (former known as woodstock festiwal)- its the biggest open air festival in Europe. Actually it was specificlly made near Germany-Poland border, so more Germans can come, and to integrate our nations- that is the reason i think You sholud watch more of videos from that festival.

At the moment when was performed this song at this festival our country was close to back to the past, back to the times when we were devided by politics. That is why is so emoutional performance, we felt, the breath of the dark past times is just in front of us again. Tkanks God we now out of this

Ich empfehle Dir "Orkiestra online " das Lied von Bajm " Co mi Panie dasz "Du wirst weinen ein klasse Lied aus der frühen 80 wo noch komunismus in Polen das macht hätte. Das oryginal ist noch besser aus dem Konzert Opole 1983. Grüße aus dem dunklen Schwarzwald 🎉

To niezwykła piosenka o Berlinie pięknie zaśpiewana przez naszą Kasie Nosowską❤

Kasia to poważna osoba w polskimi rocku

To już legęda ❤

this song is protest berlin wall

4.24 nie żołądek ale przepona, tu jest siła głosu

Kocham Kasie i Kult

To odpowiedź na zimną wojnę MÓJ ŚWIAT MUREM PODZIELONY

Greetings from Warsaw PL 🤗

Song about Berlin's wall!!!!

you r Very cute nice man. thx for showing polish culture

Als erstes wollte ich sagen das ich das ganz toll finde was du machst. Wurde in Polen geboren (1979🙈😱) lebe aber seit 1987 in Deutschland. Leider wird Polen von vielen Deutschen noch immer als der kleine arme Nachbar gesehen dessen Einwohner nur klauen, putzen und auf dem Bau arbeiten können, wobei ich da nur über meine Altersgenossen reden kann. Hoffe das es bei den jüngeren etwas anders ist. Jetzt zu Arahja, das Lied ist eine Cover Version der Kultigen polnischen Band „Kult“ (ja, das war jetzt nicht so lustig) und handelt vom geteilten Berlin oder aber auch des geteilten Europas. Es kam mir 1988 raus. Es hat für mich eine ganz besondere Bedeutung. Als ich das erste mal wieder nach Polen konnte was erst nach der Wende 1990 wieder möglich war hat mir mein Cousin eine Kassette geschenkt auf der auch dieses Lied war. Da ich mit meiner Mutter im Reisebus zurück gefahren bin und leider alle anderen Kassetten im Gepäck hatte, lief diese quasi 24h durch (naja, solange die Batterien hielten.. oh Mann bin ich alt) und Arahja gefiel mir direkt von Anfang an. Echt cool das du gerade das ausgesucht hast.

"My house that a wall divides The staircase that a wall divides Bathroom on the left side, Stove on the right side My house that a wall divides The staircase that a wall divides Bathroom on the left side, On the right side... My body that a wall divides Ten fingers on the left side Another ten on the right side Head's equal parts On each of the sides My body that a wall divides Ten fingers on the left side Another ten on the right side Head's... My street that a wall divides With neon lights shines the right side Left side lights extinguished From the curtain I watch both of the sides My street that a wall divides With neon lights shines the right side Left side lights extinguished From the curtain I watch both of the sides My street that a wall divides With neon lights shines the right side Left side lights extinguished From the curtain I watch both of the sides Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep Left! side never wakes up Right! side never falls asleep" Source: tekstowo.pl/piosenka,kult,arahja.html

Nie znoszę coverów opartych głównie na zwolnieniu tempa. Czyli większości.

She also does some comedy and she's hilarious! Plus, she has a huge distance to herself.

It's about Berlin which was divided by the wall and division in general. We, people are always divided by culture, character, religion, points of view etc. and we can't be united.

My home divided by a wall The stairs divided by a wall The bathroom on the left side The kitchen on the right side My home divided by a wall The stairs divided by a wall The bathroom on the left side The kitchen on the right side My body divided by a wall Ten fingers and toes on one side The other ten on the opposite side My head split right in half My body divided by a wall Ten fingers and toes on one side The other ten on the opposite side My head... My street divided by a wall The right side glowing with neon lights The left side all pitch dark I'm observing the both sides from behind a curtain My street divided by a wall The right side glowing with neon lights The left side all pitch dark I'm observing the both sides from behind a curtain The left side never wakes up The right side never falls asleep The left side never wakes up The right side never falls asleep The left side never wakes up The right side never falls asleep The left side never wakes up The right side never falls asleep The left side never wakes up The right side never falls asleep The left side never wakes up The right side never falls asleep The left side never wakes up The right side never falls asleep it is about Polanf being between always

It's a song about the division of the nation, and as a German you should especially know its content, which is extremely moving

You are right, this song's lyrics are actually inspired by the Berlin wall.

I've been there just under the scene. The magic was that, there were fences deployed, but at the beginning of that song we broke them. Security was hiding. I still can feel the pressure on my back...

Tutaj oryginalna wersja i teledysk do tej piosenki. Nakręcony w Berlinie. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_vw2K0AgFF0.html

Nosowska OK, ale .... przecież to utwór zespołu KULT (Kazik Staszewski) który w oryginale brzmi O WIELE WIELE LEPIEJ i jego piękno tkwi właśnie w tym KULT-owym ciężkim i dusznym klimacie. Nie wiem, ale przynajmniej dla mnie oryginał brzmi ZDECYDOWANIE LEPIEJ.

Arahja 🎉🎉🎉❤...Berlin town divided.....so metaphoricaly similar to our situation for a long time ...Ksia cried❤

Watch 'Orkiestra Sztaba online'

For a change, I propose a small fragment of the movie for reaction Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AfKZclMWS1U.html

Kult ..kocham ,uwielbiam.

The song was originally written about the Beriln Wall and division between two sides.

Grupa HEJ i KULT ❤

Fajnie jakbyś dodawał tłumaczenie tekstu ❤

If you want to get to know Polish music, maybe start with: Sobel "Sierra Papa" Adam Sztaba "What will you give me, Lord"; Dawid Podsiadło "Gray and Pink" Chorzów 25/06/2022 and then all the rest

Musisz wielu polskich wykonawcowcow posluchac,po pierwsza kult utwor polska takze z woodstock. A pozniej acid drinkers another brink my wall. Grusse

It really is an extremely dramatic protest song

When you say "Everybody in this crowd knows this song" you are not correct. (Almost) Everybody In Poland knows this song.

Chris, next time...please. KULT - Hej czy nie wiecie

It's about Berlin's Wall.

To klasyk ❤

She is crying while singing about this division because it's so dramatic, so real in our times. For me, and I think also for her, the song is about Polish nation.

Oj chłopie życia ci nie wystarczy aby poznać Polskę. Tu masz pierwszy protest song z 1965 roku, kiedy w Polsce była głęboka komuna, a dziś ten utwór jest bardzo na czasie. Gdzieś jest tłumaczenie na angielski tego utworu ale nie chce mi się szukać. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wTjLZwpmufw.html

Original heißt Kult - Arahja . Das ist sagma "Cover" beim Festival aber auch sehr stark. Diese Dame heißt Katarzyna Nosowska. Danke

Das Lied handelt von den Jahren des Ost- und Westblocks. Wir leben im Osten, also im Kommunismus, und der Rest lebt in der Normalität, also im Kapitalismus. Das gilt auch für Berlin: „Mein Haus ist durch eine Mauer geteilt, einen Teil auf der rechten Seite und einen Teil auf der linken Seite.“

The festival is free of charge that's why the crowd is always massive

Would you consider reacting on Wilki "Baśka" next time? 🙂Every Pole knows that. 😀

One of the songs against oppression. I was born on 79 and understand it literały. As we have been free. First Germany and then Russians.

To piosenka zespołu Kult

Kasia Nosowska, wokalistka Hey❤ Obejrzyj sobie Agnieszka Chylińska "*Kiedy powiem sobie dosc* może być z Woodstock. Polecam❤

To piosenka o Berlinie😊

Kasia Nosowska made a good job. But it's still a cover. Please- find Kult and Kazik Staszewski:)

to piosenka z polowy lat 80. zespołu Kult o podzielonym Berlinie. Od kilkunastu lat pasuje do Polski mocno podzielonej nawet na poziomie rodziny. Temu podziałowi winna jest partia PiS i jej wódz Kaczyński.

We welcome! 😊

Well actually you should check the original one by KULT. And also the vocalist Edyta Geppert (because Kasia here looks like her and reminded me of her lol) the song "Jaka róża taki cierń". This will make you cry!

ta piosenka symbolizuję podzieloną Europę na dwie części murem

Kult i Kasia znają się dobrze więc utwór i transmisje na KRĘCIOŁA TV gratis. Jurek /właściciel kanału/ też opłaty nie bierze

Thank you

You are smart man 😊 you like good music ❤

Hey Chris You should check "Pozytywka - Leśni" especially on good quality speakers. Greetings

After reading the self-bio book by Katarzyna Nosowska, to all the explanations about Berlin, iron curtain and present situation, I can add, that her emotions come probably from her hard private life as well (i.a. violence at home).

Hello Chris

Pozdrawiam ze Szwecji dora robota👍🖐✌💪😀

Nosowska is one of a kind.

You liked our songs and I liked the music album ,,Die mensch maschine" and ,,Autobahn" by Kraftwerk.

Yes, it's a song about the division of a country, referring to the Berlin Wall. However, you need to understand the contemporary context. The song was performed in 2017 when Poland was deeply divided by the politicians of the Law and Justice party (PiS). There were "us" and "them." "Us-good" and "Them-worse kind." Those who were labeled as the worse kind were opponents of the far-right government. This is why Kasia Nosowska cried while performing this song, as it reflected the social mood and the dramatic division of the country.
