This song came out in 1967. He is the most legendary Polish performer, artist, musician. He was an absolute genius.

.„Dziwny jest ten świat ”- Lyrics : Czesław Niemen, music: Czesław Niemen, performing: Czesław Niemen. He is legend 😌

Po tylu latach wciąż mam ciary,jak tego słucham...

Czesław Niemen (Tcheslav Neman) was an absolute legend. The song is a protest. Protest against hate between human beings. Quite on time now, despite the song being from 1967. The last verse: "Nienawiść zniszczyć w sobie" means to destroy the hate within yourself. Hate that can poses you and drive you to hurt other people. With words that are able to kill just as a knife. Fun fact: Chemical Brothers used samples from his 1975 "Niemen Aerolit" LP in "The Test" song from their 4th album "Come With Us"

Pierwsze wejście pana Czesława pierwszym wersem i już wiesz, że potęga głosu skrywa w sobie 4 oktawy mocy 😲

Czesław Niemen is the most legendary singer in Poland!

Nasz 🇵🇱💯Absolutny GENIUSZ wszech czasów, Maestro Czesław Niemen.📀📀📀📀📀

Piękny głos I muzyka mało takich artystów jeszcze dżem świetny zespół mało takich artystów teraz nie ma takiej muzyki ❤❤

Hi, please don't use Google translate as the Polish-English pair is terrible! The lyrics are soooo deep and they got lost in translation :(

In Armenia is a great singer, who sung in X Factor- his name is Davit Chaxalyan .He choice a song by Czesław Niemen - Dziwny jest ten świat 23.10.2016 and he sung in Polish Language. I wonder You will like it, I love it. Great voice od Davit.

He is angry about all the hatred in this world.. It’s amazing that even without understanding the words, this song makes such an impression on a listener. One of the best Polish songs ever. A legend.

Jaskółka uwięziona by Stan Borys - you should listen, another legendary song.

This iconic song was created in 1967! It was good to listen to back then, and it is still good to listen to in the 21st century. Czesław is no longer with us, but his work lives on and, as time shows, it is timeless!

Czesław Niemen ❤️ uwielbiam

Czesław is angry about people still hating each other, keeping hatred in their hearts(even thought history show where hatred always lead to) . And he hope that is more people without hate so we can build a better world base on love and undesterding, when person will respect other human as a person(human) regardless ours differences. More correct should be: " To destroy hate in yourself (your heart)".

"The time has come, high time to destroy hate in yourself". The song was recorded in the sixties and Niemen has been dead for years, but he will always be present in our memory.

Wiecznie żywy Czesław Niemen..❤👏 Pozdrowienia z Polski. Dziękuję za reakcję. 👌

"Hate to destroy in yourself" - totally wrong translation. It should be translated to, Destroy the Hate in yourself.

Zawsze mam ciarki jak tego słucham. Według mnie nikt tego nie zaśpiewa z taką energią i emocjami.

He is the legend in Poland.

🇵🇱 he was singing about communistic Poland. He’s singing that we should fighting with evil inside us. It is very old song

I am very happy that you are discovering some of Polish legends 👍😊

Dżem-wehikuł czasu IRA-nadzieja Dżem-sen o Victorii Czerwone gitary-biały krzyż Dżem-modlitwa III Hey-moja i twoja nadzieja Jacek Kaczmarski-mury Jacek Kaczmarski-oblawa Marek Grechuta-dni których nie znamy

I defenitely have to check this artist out ! Love his voice. Polish language; sooo many consantants 😀. When I was young I worked in an international company. We got many workers from Poland and they asked me to send messages to their home with telex (that is nearly-ancient vechile to send messages quickly) and they spelled me the words. Many times I had to ask: are you sure? So many consantans in a row? 😄 And I thought my language is difficult ! But yes, polish were very nice people.

Czesław Niemen ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sentence: "He will never die" should be: "It (this world) will never die" . Instead of " Hate destroy in yourself" should be: " To destroy hatred(hate) in yourself". Regards :)

Och, ako si ma prekvapil. Dobre, spoznávaš aj staré.. super!!!, veľká poklona tebe. Pozdrav zo Slovenska.Oh, how you surprised me. Well, you get to know the old ones .. great !!!, a big compliment to you. Greetings from Slovakia.

Najwyższy czas nienawiści zniszczyc w sobie

Bellissima canzone grande hit in Polonia Dziwny jest ten świat Niemen super interpretazione vale ascoltare questa canzone

Ahh it's so great to see foreigners appreciate Polish musicians

Lecz ludzi dobrej woli jest więcej I mocno wierzę w to, że ten świat Nie zginie nigdy dzięki nim. Nie! Nie! Nie! Nie! Przyszedł już czas, Najwyższy czas, Nienawiść zniszczyć w sobie. But there is more people of good will, And I strongly believe, That this world will survive thanks to them No,no,no,no There comes the time The highest time to destroy hatred that exist inside of us. So the person who translated the song seems to use “he” as the world . I think that probably the lyrics were translated by “web” translator And the part with hatred, the meaning is to destroy hatred that we have inside of us. I’m not fluent English speaker and I don’t think I translated that part really accurate (as professional would do), but I think it has more sense now. Hope it helps. The song is from 1967.

The song came out in 1967. So just a year after James Brown's "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" - and it's not like we had great and immediate exposure to American hits at the time of the Iron Curtain here in Poland ;)

Nie tylko Ty masz ciary na ręce, każdy tak ma przy tym głosie i tych dźwiękach ❤

Dziękuję , ta piosenka Czesława Niemena obudziła dużo wspomnień ! Super 👏

Watch Marek Grechuta "Dni których nie znamy"

He was also one of the first synthesizer user in polish music, the sample from Niemen's "Pielgrzym" appears in The Chemical Brothers' "The Test", absolutelly beautiful track btw.

Czesław Niemen to polski idol, głos niepowtarzalny, zdarza się raz na 100 lat, super dźwięki i muzyka super ❤

This is legendary song in Poland. Translation: 1) "He will never die" - this world (he) will never die, 2) nienawiść zniszczyć w sobie - to destroy hatred in yourself (inside you). Thank you for appreciating that song and the singer. Czesław Niemen (Niemen was his artistic nickname - after the river Niemen in Białoruś - where he was born, after WW II he moved to Poland.

Czesław Niemen is a legend of Polish big-beat and progressive rock of the 60's and 70's. I recommend his other legendary hits: 1. Dziwny jest ten świat (in English) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9Zzmsef37SloqM.html, 2. Piosenka dla zmarłej (in English - in my opinion, the best piece with the most extensive instrumental version) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdycaLSc0d7DeaM.html, 3. Bema pamięci żałobny rapsod - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fKx-q6SX3pzIko0.html, 4. Jednego serca - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZ57abdmsdG5mYk.html, 5. Sen o Warszawie - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7Z-iLaerZnIfX0.html 6. And a concert with the SBB band - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b8-ejMuc2MWYdHk.html. :)

Thank you for your videos, keep 'em coming :) Love from Poland! ❤

NIEMEN TO POLSKI BRYLANT .PIOSENKA JAK NAJBARDZIEJ NA CZASIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's better to say "destroy hate in yourself!" By "he" he means hate. Or hatred. Niemen is (was) our unbeatable pop music icon to this day. This song was recorded originally in 1967, I believe. I was 12 by then and I'm still in love with it.

this song was written in 1967

Jak bardzo mnie radość rozpiera ,że ktoś na prawdę potrafi docenić Kogoś tak wyjątkowego jak Czesław Niemen 👏👏👍❤️🔥💥

The song is very old, from 1967 I believe. The translations is a bit clumsy, I would say. The last words are something like this: it's time to destroy own hatred. Yes, Czesław Niemen is a legend of the old days. Other songs from C.N.: Sen o Warszawie, Wspomnienia, Pod Papugami. Just search for HQ versions.

I listen to this for so many years and every single time i'm getting goose bumps........ Niemen Rules!!!!

The same reaction everytime when i am listening. Our legend for sure

Czesław Niemen is the most outstanding Polish singer and innovative composer. Listen to his live concerts. He is a brilliant man who should gain world renown, but he lived in inappropriate times - communism in Poland and confinement to freedom. But Czesław Niemen has always been a free man in his soul, despite the fact that so many bad things happened to him before 1989, when Poland regained its freedom. It is a great regret that we will not hear his compositions and wonderful voice anymore, but get to know his songs - it's worth it. Listen, for example, to the song on YT : "Klęcząc przed Tobą" or "Bema pamięci rapsod żałobny" or "Jednego serca". There are many wonderful compositions composed by Czesław Niemen and performed by him vocally. Best regards from Poland. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fKx-q6SX3pzIko0.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNdnjdJkzNuyeqc.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aZ-mrLyEsdXbnY0.html

Witam i dziękuję za Czesława Niemena. Powinien zrobić międzynarodową karierę bo jego głos jego skala, jego muzyka powala na kolana, np. Sen i Warszawie i wiele innych piosenek. Jest niezastopiony. Dziękuję i pozdrawiam 💓

Hello Poul! greetings from Poland of course. Czesław Niemen is truly our Polish legend, our unique Polish voice, unforgettable .Now I'm watching your beloved Dimash Kudaibergen. I'm Dears from Fc, "DimashFanclub Dears Poland (formerly Bastau"). Greetings and I'm going to "Your reaction to Dimash'a" Fire Pietra "Bye

Better translation (done by Adjag2): What a Strange World! where even now, there lives such evil. And even stranger still is that after all these years man despises fellow man What a Strange World! A world of man's doings. Sometimes it's a shame to admit it But alas there often is, that somebody who with evil words, kills like a knife Even so, People of goodwill are greater, and I strongly believe in that. That this world will never perish because of them NO! No! No! The Time has now come! High Time! To destroy the hate within ourselves Even so, People of goodwill are greater, and I strongly believe in that. That this world will never perish because of them NO! No! No! The Time has now come! High Time! To destroy the hate within ourselves

I recommend you to listen- Anna German: 'Eurydyki tańczące' or 'Człowieczy los' '. She is also a legend. Greetings from Poland.

Great job Poul. Can you please do video to Skaldowie & Weglorz. Song name is: Nie widze ciebie w swych marzeniach. This song was written by Andrzej Zielinski in 1977 for Czeslaw Niemen but for some reason he never sang it. I guarantee you will be pleasantly surprised. Regards from Germany

Yeah, the lyrics was from google translate, though you can guess what he sings about. Sadly, Czasław Niemen is no more with us in this world. "Dziwny jest ten świat" comes from first album of his entire song-writer, and composer carrier. It became huge hit, and it's one of the most recognizable songs of his. If you liked it, try listen to "Com uczynił", or "Cztery ściany świata". The song that you reacted to, is an anti-violence/anti-war type of song. "He" is there, because of the wrong grammar interpretation - in polish we've got 7 grammatical cases, and words are slightly different in everyone of each of those (many centuries ago English also had grammatical cases, but now it got only one - nominative case). "Świat", which means "the world" in polish, is treated as a "he", and not like in English - "it". "High time" - it should be something like: "Finally, the time has come". "Hate to destroy in yourself" should be more like: "to destroy the hatred in oneself ". Edit: That was uploaded 11 years ago, but the song is from 1967 ;) . Edit2: As for other interesting polish songs, you should definitely check out "Budka Suflera - Jest taki samotny dom", "Maanam - Oddech szczura", "Perfect - Pepe wróć". Edit3: You should pronounce his name more like "chess" + "wuv".

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I came back to my childhood with that song. Try to listen to "Pod papugami", "Sen o Warszawie", "Wspomnienie" and other Polish artist, for example: Ewa Demarczyk "Tomaszów", Anna German "Człowieczy los", "Tańczące Eurydyki", Edmunt Fetting "Nim wstanie dzień" (music by Krzysztof Komeda - Roman Polański's friend and composer), Czerwone gitary "Biały krzyż" (beautiful, emotional lyrics) or Violetta Villas "Do Ciebie Mamo" and many, many Polish artists. Music is the great international language.😃 Thanks, once again 🥰 P. S. We read "w" like"v" in Polish. LOVE from Poland. 🥰🇵🇱

This is over fifty years old song! He was ahead of his time big time!

You can react to : " Jest taki samotny dom " by Budka Suflera from Poland

Czeslaw Niemen Jednego serca

Czesław Niemen jest Polska legenda ❤️

Well that was a complete surprise when I saw this reaction from you :) Czesław Niemen - Dziwny jest ten świat (Strange is this world). This is a hit and very well known song in Poland and very well known singer wiith very unique talent and voice. He is favourite singers of my parents and mine too. As a Pole I am happy that you loved his singing and this song. Yes this song is inspired by It's a man's man's world by James Brown. It has strong message also, You say you can hear he is angry at something - he is angry that there is still so much evil in the world and like he sings man despises a man. But he hopes that people of good will will not let this world to get destroyed and it is highest time to destroy hate in yourself, meaning to stop hating other people. And at one point translation was wrong when you did not undestand and asked "who is he", it should be "it" actually, meaning "the world". In Polish language world "world" - "świat" is masculinum - Polish nouns have 3 genders - masculinum, femininum, neutrum. That's why it was translated as "he". I hope you will listen to other Czesław Niemen's song, he was really unique and talented singer. Greetings from Poland - Karolina

Czesław Juliusz Wydrzycki vel Czesław Niemen,legenda polskiej sceny muzycznej. Dziwny jest ten świat-festiwal w Sopocie 1967.

Listen to: " Kiedy powiem sobie dość" and "Drzwi"-strong,meaningful and timeless songs of legendary Polish rock band O.N.A. I recommend you also a thrilling,melancholic,ful of despair song "51"of TSA and classic "Długość dźwięku samotności"by Myslovitz- the meaningful,moving anthem of introverts.Choose versions with translations.

I love this song so much. Czesław Niemen has such a powerful voice. His other songs are amazing as well. I feel like He would be so popular If he sang in english

NIEMEN!!!!!!!!

8:34 It should be translated as "it" not "he" - and of course it reffers to the world. Niemen hopes that the world ("he") will never die thanks to the people of good will. The translation about the hate may sound odd because Niemen used a non-typical word order (to sound more poetic) which is perfectly fine grammarwise in Polish but when translated word for word into English is a bit confusing. So what he says is "The time has come yet, the highest time, to destroy the hatred within (yourself)"

Yep. That is what "Dziwny jest ten świat" makes with you, it gives you chills and creeps, the positive ones! I'm getting them everytime i listen to this powerfull and beautiful song. And yes, volume makes the difference. Thank you for that reaction, it gives Czesław Niemen a justice.

Czeslaw Niemen to fenomen nie do podrobienia👍🔝fajnie że go wspomnialeś🙂posłuchaj EDYTA GÓRNIAK "LITANIA"🙂🙋‍♀️

Klasyk nigdy nie umiera , nie traci aktualności ....

Wow that's is some one awesome song and his voice is a legend.

Thanks bro for reaction

Hello Paul, I'm from Poland. If you like Czesław Niemen, you have to listen to the song from 1965: Przyjdź w taką noc (Czesław Niemen with Akwarele).

The last line is: "time has come, the highest time to destroy hatred in yourself"

Ok, I'll add- he is a legend. I wasn't around at 60s or 70s, my parents told me in 80s lot of stories about him. I was mesmerized by his voice. He had unusual personality too, very gentle. If you could watch an interview with him, you would hear how gently he was speaking. Whenever he toured he was noticed. For example- Clive Davis wanted to sing him. But he lived in Poland and that's why you don't know him....sad. At his times, he was considered to be controversial...so many aneqdots. So I look forward for your next reaction to one of his songs.

This song is 50 years old but steel beautiful.

I also recommend Polish famous singer Ms.Edyta Gorniak singing I will always love you.It is amazing. By the way Cheslaw Niemen has a daughter Natalia Niemen, who also sings.

Cześć i witam. Jest wiele takich polskich głosów, polecam: Anna German "Człowieczy los", " Tańczące Eurydyki" Pozdrawiam

In mid 70's, after several concerts in States and recordings with John Abercrombie, Jan Hammer, Billy Cobham and other fusion stars, Niemen was considered to be a Blood, Sweat & Tears vocalist. Unfortunately it didn't happen.

He sang "Dziwny jest ten świat" for the first time in 1967. Czesław Niemen is a legend and his song is a legend for us.

Thank you for your appreciation for this great song of Czesław Niemen. You seem to be such a nice person. Greetings from Poland. 🙂👋

He was and is a legend. The piece was released in 1967 Thank you for making a movie about him. This piece is one of the most important in the history of Polish music. It is like an anthem.

Yes, exactly so unique voice & song - amazing! & yes - more volume for this song! Thank you for this video******* BTW: this song is from 1967. yes - it reminds Jamesa Browna ( inspiration from that song....) + about translation & your questions - it should be more like this: ''... and I strongly believe that this world will never die again ...'' ''.... the time has come - the highest time - to destroy the hate within yourself .'' I hope that will be helpful:) Once again, many thanks & best wishes*****

Legend.

Czesław Niemen is a legend in Poland. One of the best voices i ve ever heard. You should also hear Edyta Gorniak "to nie ja byłam Ewą" eurovision 1994 I vould love to see your reaction🙂 Ps. Czesław song basicaly is about hatred between people and he would like to kill this hatered in himself...

I would LOVE to see your reaction to Czesław Niemen's song " Jednego serca", where he hits an insane high note, and beside that amazing high note the song is really good and it's lyrics just show how lonely he was.

Poezja śpiewana i ten głos ❤️ Oraz Sen o Warszawie ❤️

One more thing. What you hear is mix of the most powerful voice of his generstion and the most unique polish accent which can exist only at the east side of our country. Niemen is a genuine treasure in Poland.

💓💓💓💓Dziwny ten Świat

Najlepszy polski muzyk, najlepsza muzyka, od wielu lat aktualne i ważne słowa. Najlepsza polska piosenka. Pozdrawiam

I always get the chills to hear this, I love this song .

I recommend you should check out Ewa Demarczyk’s Karuzela z Madonnami. The good thing is that there is an English cover of the song, so you can follow the lyrics pretty easily - Faun Fables Carousel with Madonnas

Jak dla mnie Czesław wymiata piękny głos piękny nie jeden może mu pozazdrościć pozdro

I really love Janusz Radek singing this as he, I think is one of the best technical singers.

I wish I could hear this song for the first time again, it's legend. This song is from 60' I think but I'm not sure. Czesław Niemen is one of those people that you think that he can't be better, stronger whatever, and then he shows that, Yes, he can. Czesław Niemen Rest in Peace

I would like to recommend you to listen to three Polish evergreens. All of them from the early 70's. The first one is “Zegarmistrz Swiatła Purpurowy” which means "The Purple Light Watchmaker" (the death - person) by Tadeusz Woźniak. The chorus begins with the words: "And when the purple light watchmaker comes to get me to light blue in my head, I'll be bright and ready ..." Notice how joyful this song is. There was a version on KZfaq that had over 17 million views, but was removed due to copyright. It got a lot of positive comments from all over the world. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d5phg6ll0bvPops.html The second song is „Jest taki samotny dom” which means "There is such a lonely house" by one of the best Polish rock bands called "Budka Suflera". The chorus begins with the words: “And after the night comes the day, and after the storm comes peace. Suddenly, the birds wake me up, beating against the windows ... " kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbqPgsWCsrnXY4k.html The third one is "Swallow" (imprisoned). This is a song about the desire for freedom. Let me remind you, it is the 1970s in Poland. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r5qZZ8KWnLqbeZs.html

Nasz Czesław do dziś ikona muzyki polskiej...

Czesław Niemen sang this song first time, life, during Polish Festiwal of Music in 1967. Sadly this great musisian is no longer with us, but his music will stay with us forever.

Try "Bema pamieci zalobny rapsod" It lasts 15 minutes :)

He sings that this world is strange because people hate each other and cut themselves with words like a sword. It kills us, but he doesn't want such a world. He knows that there are more people with a good heart attitude and he wants these people to change it for a better life in the world. He doesn't want people to hate other people and kill themselves. He calls people to do good. (I am Polish)

2 PLUS 1 - "Requiem dla samej siebie" (1983)
