Gdy świat tryumfuje mile aplauduje,
A tak wszystko stworzenie,
Przyszedł z nieba Pan chwały, aby zbawił świat cały.
Stąd dziś wesele, że w ludzkim ciele
Bóg światu głosi, pokój przynosi
Przy Swojem narodzeniu.

Gdy stanął gospodą, bo było z wygodą
Dla narodu ludzkiego.
Ma w Swem słońcu mieszkanie, Przyszedł na to wygnanie
Ziemi nizkości, Pan z wysokości,
Dręb’czy w stajence, ciałko Panience
W przykrej tej zimnej chwili.
Drży z zimna Dziecię, bo w podłe powicie
Jezus jest uwiniony
O Jezulu maleńki, Proś przynajmniej Mateńki, 
Aby Cię wzięła i uwinęła, W ciepłe piernaty, miękkie bławaty,
Do piersi przytuliła

GDY ŚWIAT TRYUMFUJE

lyrics: Alicja Maciejowska   music: Beata Przybytek

On Monday, on Tuesday, on Wednesday, on Thursday
I’m a good girl, I’m a good girl
And even on Friday, and even on Friday
I’m a good girl, I’m a good girl
You have to wait till Saturday
You have to wait till Saturday
To see my true face
To see my face

I'm gonna rock you, 'gonna drug you, 'gonna sing it
I'm gonna rock you like Aretha or like Stevie
I'm gonna shake you – there's no limit, there's no shame
I'm gonna shake you for your money, for fame...
I'm gonna be a star /I'm gonna be the one
I'm gonna be the best / Just pay and  have no rest...

On Monday, on Tuesday, on Wednesday, on Thursday
I wear no make - up, I wear no make-up
And even on Friday, and even on Friday
I wear no make-up, I wear no make-up
My husband leaves on Saturday
My husband leaves on Saturday
This is the best day
This is my birthday

I'M GONNA ROCK YOU

lyrics and music by Beata Przybytek

Get rid of your doubts and just grab your pen
Don’t put it off, don’t give up your plans
Inspiration won't come if you don't invite it now
Ideas hover waiting for your reaching hands
So

Catch your idea and write it down
If you don't do it, it will be gone
Don't waste your time, there’s only one chance
You must understand that it won't come again

You'll be surprised how it works, easier than I thought
It’s amazing that you can create whatever you want
More than you've expected, more than you’ve supposed
When it starts, believe me: it doesn’t want to stop!
So
Catch your idea and write it down
If you don't do it, it will be gone
Don't waste your time, there’s only one chance
You must understand that it won't come again



CATCH YOUR IDEA

lyrics: Alicja Maciejowska   music: Beata Przybytek

There's a place
Where we both want to be
There's a place
Where we both want to live
In your mind a quiet song
In your arms a better world

There's a prayer
We both learned to find
There's a prayer
An always shining star
In your eyes I see the sky
In your heart a butterfly

Everybody has somebody to hold
Everybody has somebody to love
We've got each other
Here and now
It's a miracle
For tonight 

Everybody has somebody to hold
Everybody has somebody to love
We've got each other
Here and now
It's a miracle
For all times

There's a prayer
We both learned to find
There's a prayer
An always shining star
In your eyes I see the sky
In your heart a butterfly

Tonight, tonight
There's no tomorrow
No yesterdays
Tonight is only
For being together
Tonight for today


TONIGHT FOR TODAY

lyrics:Alicja Maciejowska   music: Beata Przybytek

I wanna feel your bones close to my lips / I wanna smell your scent all over me
I wanna whisper your name, again and again / I wanna finish all parts and do the same
Don't tell me 
You don't feel  like making love
When I lust after you  / More and more
Be my Ragman, baby,
Be my Ragman, baby,
Be my great adventure
Be my Ragman Angel
Be my Ragman
Just for one crazy time
Be my Ragman
make me a rag tonight

I wanna keep my bones close to your tongue / I wanna smell my scent and smell your joy
I am so tired of clean, lovely boys / I wanna make a mad and dirty choice
Don't tell me
You don't feel like having it away
When I lust after you / Only for today

Be my Ragman (...)



BE MY RAGMAN

lyrics: Alicja Maciejowska       music: Beata Przybytek


My mamma used to say / That nothing is for free
You've got to pay for everything  / In this life'
My mamma used to say  / There are no coloured dreams
You've got to work for everything /  In this life
I will pay for the blues / I will pay for every minute
I will pay for the blues / I know
I wanna feel with all my heart / Every word, every sound
Though I know /  I will pay for the blues
My mama used to say / 'Grow up, you stupid girl'
And I... I've never wanted grief / In this life
My mama used to walk / A path I don't want to follow
I want to find my own way / In this life

I will pay (...)
This is my blues / My heritage,
My knowledge and my luggage
This is my blues /  My music for this life.
This is my blues / My heritage
It doesn't make me sad
It would make a dead man laugh


I WILL PAY FOR THE BLUES

lyrics: Alicja Maciejowska     music: Beata Przybytek


You must be kidding / You don't know me
Nobody can force me / To make believe
I've got class / I've got style
Oh, can't you see / This chic and charm

Plastic earrings and plastic love
Don't give me plastic I deserve gold
I'm not made in China / I'm not a plastic doll
I am a diamond queen / that you can't afford

You don't have money / You don't have me
Nobody can force me / To make believe
I love to count / your credit cards
I love to dance through / your bank accounts

Plastic earrings (...)
P/L/A/S/T/I/C
It just doesn't sound like me
P/L/A/S/T/I/C
It just doesn’t sound like me
don't you dare to give me...
Plastic earrings (...)


P/ L/ A/ S/ T/ I/ C  (made in China)

lyrics and music: Beata Przybytek

I used to imagine what my life would look like
I thought there were lots of things I had influence on
If somebody told me what was going to happen
I would laugh all day long
It’s kind of funny that


I don’t know what’s right around the corner
I don’t know what the future will bring
I’ve got some expectations
But fate doesn’t care
God has His own plans



I used to think I could control my life
But it’s not easy to get what you need
I’ve  realized I can’t have everything
Maybe I should just flow down stream
It’s kind of funny that

I don’t know what’s right around the corner
I don’t know what the future will bring
I’ve got some expectations
But fate doesn’t care
God has His own plans


There’s always the question: destiny or coincidence?
There’s no good  answer
Nobody can say

Now I’m sure that
I’m just a piece of the puzzle
But too small to see the whole shape



KIND OF FUNNY

lyrics: Alicja Maciejowska    music: Beata Przybytek

Come to our world /Welcome to the show
We've got everything / You may need
But the most of all / We've got secret gold
Every man would love to adore
Elizabeth, Elizabeth / Queen of Egypt
A dangerous flame / Elizabeth, Elizabeth
Like blood, like wine, like Death 
Welcome to our world / Welcome to the show
You have never seen / A better film
Welcome and enjoy / God of lust is born
Making cage for kitty from hell
Elizabeth, Elizabeth / Queen of Egypt
A dangerous flame / Elizabeth, Elizabeth
Like blood, like wine, / Like Death 
Watch her and taste her
Watch her and taste her
Buy a ticket to / An unforgettable
Unbelievable / Silky and cruel 
Adventure

Elizabeth, Elizabeth (...)




QUEEN OF EGYPT

lyrics: Alicja Maciejowska   music: Beata Przybytek

Mister Loverman  / Please, write a word to me
I'm waiting here  / All in tears
Mister Loverman  /Please, sing a song for me
Tonight and here  / All in tears
Mister Loverman
Mister Loverman
I will shout all night
I will scream all day
Mister Loverman
Mister Loverboy
Forever and ever
I'm all yours

Mister Loverman  / You have so many chicks
You may find them  / All in me
Mister Loverman  / Please, I won't wait for long
Tonight and here  /  Feel this bond


Mister Loverman (...)



MR. LOVERMAN

lyrics: Alicja Maciejowska     music: Beata Przybytek

I'm not pretty
I'm not skinny
But I have got something in it
I'm not smart enough for the Nobel
But you don't look for another

I'm not brilliant
I'm not silly
I am something just between them
I know I'm not like your mother
But you don't look for another


Don't pretend you're such a tough guy
Don't pretend you're such a tough guy
Give me a wink of your eye
Give me a reason to fly
Buy me a flower or two
Dance with me and take me to the moon
You will see that nothing else matters
When I smile good luck happens


You're not Redford, you're not Brando
But I want to swing your tango
You are fine but non-commercial
maybe even someone special
You're not wealthy, not too handsome
And I am your tiny station
You must think about it clearly
You've got more than you've ever dreamed of


Don't pretend (...)



GOOD LUCK

lyrics: Alicja Maciejowska    music: Beata Przybytek


Covers, dream makers / The sweetest temptations
Passions without declarations / Stolen golden hits collections
Hungry as hunters / For bleeding disasters
Nights of tender resurrections / Body language preparation

And in the end / It takes my breath away
Even after years / It takes my breath away

          Just do me a favour / Stop asking me why
(Please), do me a favour / Don't make me cry
Just do me a favour / Give me a try
Do me a favour / Kiss me goodbye
Good looking – maybe / But I'm not teenager
Passions without declarations / Lays beyond my intonation
We have admitted / We have predicted
I'm too good to die for Cupid / I'm not blind and you're not stupid

There is no time / to play a different string
It is high time / To finish everything


Just do me a favour(...)



DO ME A FAVOUR

lyrics & music: Beata Przybytek

So many vows were hidden in your eyes
Safety and warmth I could find in Your open arms
A tiny hope was dreaming in my heart 
Of you, my love
Praying you’d change my life

Darling, that’s it for now
Our love affair is done
It’s very sad but true
Say goodbye
The moment’s gone

So I’m completely lost
You  chose somebody else
Now she’s the lucky one
‘Cause I’ve missed my chance

Great fantasies were dancing in my mind
A big surprise when I found out  about your new  plans
The only thought which in my head right now
Is to go away
And hide behind my face 

Darling, that’s it for now
Our love affair is done
It’s very sad but true
Say goodbye
The moment’s gone

So I’m completely lost
You chose somebody else
Now she’s the lucky one
‘Cause I’ve missed my chance


THAT'S IT

lyrics: Alicja Maciejowska    music: Beata Przybytek

He says he's got to take a break
He says he is so tired
He says he needs his nap so much
And I've got work on fire
Oh yeah, my baby, don't you worry
I've got my work on fire...

I am a super-power housewife  / And it’s real magic
I do my duties so fast  /He  can't even imagine
I  take care of everything / So that he can sleep
And have the sweetest dreams/ About me, only 'bout me

He says he can be helpful here
But I don't need attention
I'd rather have him sleeping well
to use my own potential
Oh yeah, I need a couple of hours
To loosen my inner tension...

I am a super-power (...)

And he will never know
It doesn't make a difference
Who makes me feel so strong
Who washes all my dishes...

TAKE A NAP

Lyrics: Alicja Maciejowska     Music: Beata Przybytek


It is good to have your personal habits
It is good to have your personal aims
I've got my special, perfect rabbit
And it still runs away.
I love this game of catching
My little pet, day by day
So be my personal rabbit
And stay, stay, stay...


You may sit, you may stand
There's no need to pretend
When pleasure is mine
There is nothing better
- to watch you, to have you
The pleasure is mine

The pleasure is mine
And it is fine
The pleasure is mine
And that's the fun
The pleasure is all mine


It is good to have your personal problems
It is good to have your personal pain
I know solutions and conclusions
And they still run away
I love this game of catching
My little pet day by day
So be my personal problem
And stay, stay, stay...

You may sit, you may stand (...)


THE PLEASURE IS ALL MINE

Lyrics: Alicja Maciejowska       Music: Beata Przybytek

vocal and piano : Beata Przybytek


Once upon a time   
There was a sweet little girl
The most beautiful in the world 
 As everybody said
She dreamed of being a princess 
And tried hard not to be
Or maybe it was something different 
 Nobody could really see

Once upon a time 
There was a famous actress
Her lipstick, her dresses and shoes 
Hidden in thousands of closets
A crowd dreamed 'bout her face 
'bout hair as bright as her smile
It was exactly that way 
The whole world could really see.


Once upon a time  
There was a sweet lonely girl
The most beautiful in the world 
As  everybody   said...





MARILYN (Once Upon A Time)

Lyrics: Alicja Maciejowska    Music: Beata Przybytek



I'm not your little girl 
I will not believe
Those stupid faces
You can see on TV
I've had a few boyfriends
I've tried a few tricks
So treat me like a lady
And don't lie to me


Political fiction /Your policy of love
You don't feel anything warmer than snow
Political fiction / Don't sell this trash to me
I will not stand by you / Just don't count on me



I'm not you little girl
I won't shake your hand
You have to explain to me
Every step you take
I've had a few boyfriends
I've tried a few tricks
I know how to be a lady
And you are such a prick



Political fiction (...)

All In Love Is Fair

Beata Przybytek
is an outstanding vocalist, pianist and composer. She is widely acknowledged as one of the most intriguing Polish voices. She graduated from the Jazz Department at the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice where she is currently a member of the faculty.
Beata won first place at The 29th International Meeting of Jazz Vocalists in Zamość. During her long and fruitful career, she has released the following albums: ”You Don’t Know What Love Is” (2003), ”The Island” (2004), ”Wonderland” (2006) which is distributed in Poland and Japan, and the latest ”I’m Gonna Rock You” (2012). 
The artist joined forces with such prominent members of Polish jazz stage as Jan Ptaszyn Wróblewski, Janusz Muniak, Jarosław Śmietana, Piotr Wojtasik, Bernard Maseli, Wojciech Karolak, and Jazz Band Ball Orchestra.
She took active part in the Kalinowe Serce Charity’s project – „Singing Jazz”  featuring Marianna Wróblewska and Maciej Zakościelny.
As far as Beata’s performances are concerned, she played a crucial role during numerous domestic and international jazz festivals: Jazz Jamboree, Bielska Zadymka Jazzowa, Summer Jazz Festival at Piwnica pod Baranami, International Głogów Jazz Meetings, Pomorska Jesień Jazzowa, Easy Jazz Festival, Jazz Sessions in Gliwice, Jazz Forum Jazz Festival, Jazz w Lesie in Sulenczyn, Baszta Jazz Festival, Podlasie Jazz Festival, Świdnickie Noce Jazzowe, Jazz na Kanapie in Oleśnica, Zakopiańska Wiosna Jazzowa, Legnica Jazz Days,  Jazz En Nord Jazz Festival - France, Sibiu Jazz Festival , Ploiesti Hot Jazz Summit – Romania, International Jazz Piestany – Slovakia etc. Beata is internationally recognized and fervently applauded by audiences in Poland as well as in Austria, Belgium, Sweden, Germany, France, Romania, and Slovakia. 


“Sensation. In my humble opinion, Poland has not had a jazz vocalist singing so distinctly and expressively since Urszula Dudziak. Morover, the style and timbre of voice Beata presents being so characteristic for black vocalists, distinguish her from other Polish jazz singers.”
Andrzej Chojnacki, „Od Przybytek głowa nie boli...”, „Jazz Forum” 

“Someone said the more Przybytek the better. It is not enough- you can really fall in love with Beata Przybytek’s voice.(…)Warm,sometimes a little hoarse,once naturally clear, white, some other time giving the impression of stylish-black. However, never mannered! This is her voice in short. But even this seems to be not enough…because Beata Przybytek should not be read about, she must be heard. Extraordinary voice must touch us and go deep inside.(…)Beata Przybytek is a mature and fulfilled artist.”
Tomasz Jakub Handzlik, „Gazeta Wyborcza”
