Verse 1

Mom, I don't want to get married, I want glamour

And I want applause, I want in a crowd

To be the finest jewel

Mom, I don't want to get married and every day

Be like a passerby who has to

Pretend instead of living

Chorus 1

Mom, at our gate, wheels will wear down the cobblestone

Like before a lady, he'll kneel at my feet

Dad, it's summer outside, the world sweetened by lilac

And he'll whisk me away into the unknown in his ride

Postchorus 1

My pink morning glory climbs, it keeps climbing up

It has an almond scent and taste

Butterflies are cuddling, cuddling, cuddling, but no

Because I'm still lacking love

Verse 2

Mom, I don't want to get married, I can't stand

Meeting a bumpkin hubby

I want a winged love

Mom, I don't want to get married, I want a scoundrel

Who's worth loving when he pounds

With his fists on my heart

Chorus 2

Mom, at our gate, wheels will wear down the cobblestone

Like before a lady, he'll kneel at my feet

Dad, it's summer outside, the world sweetened by lilac

And he'll whisk me away into the unknown in his ride

Postchorus 2

My pink morning glory climbs, it keeps climbing up

It has an almond scent and taste

Butterflies are cuddling, cuddling, cuddling, but no

Because I'm still lacking love

Verse 3

Mom, I don't want to get married, I want glamour

And I want applause, I want in a crowd

To be the finest jewel

Mom, I don't want to get married and every day

Be like a passerby who has to

Pretend instead of living

Chorus 3

Mom, at our gate, wheels will wear down the cobblestone

Like before a lady, he'll kneel at my feet

Dad, it's summer outside, the world sweetened by lilac

And he'll whisk me away into the unknown in his ride

Chorus 4

Mom, at our gate, wheels will wear down the cobblestone

Like before a lady, he'll kneel at my feet

Dad, it's summer outside, the world sweetened by lilac

And he'll whisk me away into the unknown in his ride

Postchorus 3

My pink morning glory climbs, it keeps climbing up

It has an almond scent and taste

Butterflies are cuddling, cuddling, cuddling, but no

Because I'm still lacking love

kmiotka — boor / peasant (derogatory)

Kmiotka is a highly evocative and somewhat archaic Polish word, used here in a derogatory sense to mean 'boor' or 'peasant'. It's not an everyday word, making it memorable and unique to this song's context.

In the lyrics, the protagonist declares, "Mamo, nie chcę za mąż nie zniosę Mężusia kmiotka spotkać" (Mom, I don't want to get married, I won't bear to meet a peasant husband). This word perfectly captures her strong aversion to a mundane, unexciting life and her desire for something more passionate and extraordinary than what she perceives a 'kmiotka' could offer.

Ever felt like you wanted more from life than what everyone expects? That's the heart of this fun, energetic Polish folk-pop song! The title, "Mamo Ja Nie Chcę Za Mąż," translates to "Mom, I Don't Want to Get Married," and it's a powerful declaration of independence. The singer tells her parents she refuses to settle for a boring, conventional life. She doesn't want to just pretend to be happy; she wants to truly live.

Instead of a simple husband, she dreams of a life filled with excitement, glamour, and applause. She imagines a passionate romance with a charming rogue who will sweep her off her feet and carry her away on an adventure. She craves a love that's like a force of nature, one that knocks on her heart with passion. It's a song about wanting to be the main character in your own story, chasing a life of passion and adventure instead of just following the rules.
