Stanisław Moniuszko - Słoneczko (Piąty Śpiewnik Domowy, 1859)

(music: Jan Kanty Pawluśkiewicz, lyrics: Marek Grechuta, Marek Czuryło, translation: pickyperkypenguin)

A theatre strange, one of a kind

Where sense and substance

Deuce only knows

There are pianos and mandolins

In frenetic tango Anawa

You, ma’am, are saying – it’s impossible!

You, ma’am, are saying I am guessing

You, ma’am, are saying – unbelievable!

You, ma’am, are saying it’s a jest

But what is possible – is possible

What I am guessing – I am guessing

And you don’t know, my lady, what I’m feeling

When I am singing tango Anawa

A theatre strange, one of a kind

In which the show eternally goes

Animal tamers and arlequinos

And frenzy of illusion Anawa

You, ma’am, are saying – it’s impossible! (…)

Theatre strange, one of a kind

One other like this – I don’t think there is

Here come to us prepossessing girls

And they are laughing and having fun

You, ma’am, are saying – it’s impossible

That you know all these sort of japes

That is naïve and frankly phony

This so called tango Anawa

But what is phony, that is phony

What I am guessing – I am guessing

And you won’t ever understand

What is a tango Anawa

Ooooh, me encanta!

ANAWA – 1966 yılında Krakov’da kurulan Polonyalı enstrümental müzik grubu. İlk başta Krakov Teknik Üniversitesi Mimarlık Fakültesi’nin öğrenci kabaresiydi. Grup, Jan Kanty Pawluśkiewicz, Marek Czuryło, Adam Pasternakiewicz, Ziemowit Pawluśkiewicz, Michał Pawluśkiewicz ve Tadeusz Kalinowski tarafından kuruldu. Kısa süre sonra Marek Grechuta onlara katıldı. Sanatçılara göre müzikleri lirik şarkılarla karışık kaba/bayağı sokak müziğidir. 1973 yılında Marek Grechuta grubu terk ettikten sonra Andrzej Zaucha grubun yeni şarkıcısı oldu. Onunla grup en çok psycho-rock özelliklerine sahip olan üçüncü ve “Anawa” adlı albümünü çıkardı. Bundan kısa sonra grup müzik faaliyetlerine son verdi.

Soon after the group ceased to exist.

ポーランドのグラフィック・デザイナー、漫画家、画家、建築家。

初期には、ポスターとイラスト用グラフィック・アートを専門にしていた。1980年代に制作した空間的オブジェは、同時代の社会的・政治的問題に言及した主題的連作である。

1978年に第7回ワルシャワ国際ポスター・ビエンナーレ金賞を受賞。1976年5月、ジョルジュ・ポンピドー・センターの奨学金を受けて、パリに定住。1977年11月、国外追放を恐れてアメリカのニューヨークに居を定め、死去までそこを本拠地にした。

「アナヴァ」は、1966年12月にクラクフに誕生した器楽グループである。当初は、クラクフ工科大学建築学部の学生が結成したキャバレー「アナヴァ」として活動。グループの創立者は、ヤン・カンティ・パヴルシキェヴィチ、マレク・チュルィウォ、アダム・パステルナキェヴィチ、ジェモヴィト・パヴルシキェヴィチ、ミハウ・パヴルシキェヴィチ、タデウシュ・カリノフスキ。

を録音した。その後まもなく、グループは活動を中止した。
