Chorus 1
I worked all day to have a nice night
So life could be a dream, to hear the sound of life
I danced all night so life would have grace
I swallow bass like oxygen, so life makes sense
Chorus 2
I worked all day to have a nice night
So life could be a dream, to hear the sound of life
I danced all night so life would have grace
I swallow bass like oxygen. Like oxygen
Verse 1
The alarm calls me at nine
First thought: 'I guess I'll check my bank account'
Then I remember I don't have to anymore
Not a big fish yet, but already a plump one
Last night was that trendy party
I was in Heaven and everyone there was flying high
Every girl here is recording something
Every guy here is recording something
More than one face will end up on Pudelek today
I've seen more than one face on bottles
Pepsi or something?
Lines, dealers, junk
The party starts in the men's room. Someone in the hood sniffed out a gram
Pours a line, a line, a line
The debate starts right away: Luzztra or maybe Plan B?
Chorus 3
To have a nice night
So life could be a dream, to hear the sound of life
I danced all night so life would have grace
I swallow bass like oxygen, so life makes sense
Chorus 4
I worked all day to have a nice night
So life could be a dream, to hear the sound of life
I danced all night so life would have grace
I swallow bass like oxygen. Like oxygen
Verse 2
I think you called, I'm losing reception and I'm losing time and I'm losing paper
But it'll be alright. I'm not worried about myself, I'm always worried about the world
Tonight there's another trendy party
And this DJ must be a huge talent
'Cause he has so many girls and demands queens, like a jack in macao
I want to live on this earth and mean something. To have offspring and get the sauce
I'm building a monument here like a pile of dishes. Starting tomorrow I'm not drinking, I'm sick of hangovers
Damn, this city is beautiful. I open my notebook, set up these loops
Last night was a dream
I don't know where the black stamp on my hand came from
Chorus 5
I worked all day to have a nice night
So life could be a dream, to hear the sound of life
I danced all night so life would have grace
I swallow bass like oxygen, so life makes sense
Chorus 6
I worked all day to have a nice night
So life could be a dream, to hear the sound of life
I danced all night so life would have grace
I swallow bass like oxygen. Like oxygen
Bridge
What? You know.. I'll tell you, there are moments in life
When I have an irresistible urge to act like a maniac
I'm a maniac
Verse 3
I do it every night. I do it every night. I ask nobody for help
I'm going out again, I have FOMO and I'd honestly like to not give a f*ck like Pono
Don't come closer, you can't, dude
I don't have the energy for a photo, dude
I see there's a cordon of fans here
I'm drunk, and the guy I'm talking to probably popped something
He says f*ck all of Mordor
He's had enough of it, 'cause his boss is an idiot
And his new start-up will make a killing
Something, something, something dot com, hey
Taco, Taco, maybe we can get that photo?
I say 'cool, come on man'
Then that car takes me home again, hey
She's asleep and I'd like to experience something with her
Chorus 7
I worked all day to have a nice night
So life could be a dream, to hear the sound of life
I danced all night so life would have grace
I swallow bass like oxygen, so life makes sense
Outro
I worked all day to have a nice night
So life could be a dream, to hear the sound of life
I danced all night so life would have grace
I swallow bass like oxygen

nieprzepartąirresistible / overwhelming

Nieprzepartą is an adjective meaning 'irresistible' or 'overwhelming'. It's a powerful and less common word that adds a strong emotional depth to the lyrics.

In the song, Taco Hemingway uses it to describe an intense urge: "Kiedy mam nieprzepartą ochotę zachowywać się jak świr" (When I have an irresistible urge to act like a madman). This word perfectly captures the feeling of being overcome by a powerful impulse, making it memorable and engaging for a learner.

Get ready to dive into the vibrant nightlife of Warsaw with Polish rapper Taco Hemingway's hit, "Tlen"! The title translates to "Oxygen," and that's exactly what the pulsating bass of the club feels like to the narrator. The song captures the classic "work hard, play hard" lifestyle. He grinds all day just to escape into the night, dancing until dawn to make life feel like a dream and find some meaning in the chaos.

But it's not all glamour. Taco Hemingway gives us a peek behind the velvet rope of the modern party scene. He describes a world filled with celebrities, social media obsession, and the pressure to be seen. While he's chasing a good time, he also grapples with the darker, emptier side of fame and nightlife. It's a song about searching for something real and meaningful, even if it's just for one night, by breathing in the music like it's the very air you need to survive.
