about

Jestem, meaning ‘I am’ in polish, demonstrates the dark moon aspect of Dora Gola’s musicality.

While previous releases including dance ballad ‘Dark Sand’ and the spritely bopping ‘Flying Tree’ move the body, Jestem is a song which moves the emotions.

Jestem is a captivating down tempo lullaby with natural soundscapes of water drops, whale whistles and gentle hand drumming.
Dora’s striking voice transmits a sincere intimacy with sections of slavic lyrics which mark Jestem as the first song released by Dora Gola written in both Polish and English.

By hearing Dora sing in her first language, we hear a new side of her multicultural expression and one which flows right to the heart. Paired excellently with Eastern instruments which summon a landscape of aching beauty and wonder as strings swell and recede in keeping with rich and dynamic choral voices.

This push and pull reaches its climax with an almost ceremonial section of primal chanting, evoking a celebration of self-acceptance and self-love for the many identities we each have coming together as a whole.

lyrics


 I remember all the days I lost you
 Like loosing little melodies in my sleep
Hold a little longer and I’ll find you

Czego szukasz, komu ufasz? (What are you looking for, who do you trust?)
Jestem (I am)

Have you ever tried to walk on water
Before the flame of memory reappears
Outrun the dead and meet the waves who’ll find you

Czego pragniesz, gdzie to znajdziesz? (What is your desire, where are you going to find it?)
Jestem ( I am )

Jestem, Jestem
Jestem, Jestem

It’s easy to give in when wraiths surround you
Like living current sweeping you right off your feet
Just listen to your breathing you won’t falter

Wiec nie czekaj, chwila mija (Don’t wait, every little moment passes)
Jestem , Jestem (I am, I am)


Jestem, Jestem
Jestem, Jestem

Jestem tu, ochronie Ciebie (I am here, I will protect you)
Jestem tu, to moje brzmienie (I am here, the sound you can hear is me.)
Uslysz mnie, ja podam Ci reke, (Hear me, I will give you my hand)
Jestem tu (I am here)


Jestem, Jestem
Reveal lost hearts, reveal lost stars
Jestem, Jestem
Reveal those hearts, reveal those stars
