“Thanks to Maryla and her music, I found my way back to Poland,”
recalls Konrad Cywka, Director of Remedium Europa.
A unique interview with Konrad was published in Maryla Rodowicz’s autobiographical book “Królowa jest tylko jedna” (“There’s Only One Queen”) released by Burda Publishing. The conversation was conducted by journalist and longtime friend of the artist, Maria Szabłowska.
It’s more than a story about a life and career path – it’s a testament to the power of music to inspire and transform lives.
Konrad – the longtime creator of Marylomania (Maryla Rodowicz’s Creative Works Portal) – also wrote a third verse to the legendary hit “Remedium.” Here it is:
**
And when I leave it all behind, boarding my train with no return,
the world I knew will still remain, a constant moment made to yearn.
This Remedium is the message, now a hope that’s brightly shown,
let’s dance through life beyond all galas – and let the green in us be grown…
**
This message also resonates in our daily work – especially in language teaching through emotion, music, and culture.
Konrad created an original album featuring German versions of Maryla’s songs, offering Remedium Europa’s learners a completely new and immersive dimension in language learning.
Learners often discover these lyrics during class – they interpret them, sing them, and some even find their own motivation and… linguistic remedium in them.
???? The book “Królowa jest tylko jedna” is available in online bookstores – we highly recommend it.
