With the curtains closing on 2015, Poland’s Cleo — Europe’s favourite Slavic Girl — has released the music video for her new single “Zabiore Nas” (I’ll Take Us).
And where exactly will we go, Cleo? Certainly not back to Eurovision 2014: There’s no sign of butter churners or washer women in the new music video. Unlike her Eurovision entry and subsequent single “B.I.T”, Cleo forgoes her signature rapping. Instead, “Zabiore Nas” continues to develop the sound she and Donatan forged in “Sztorm”, minimising the electronic sounds to help her powerful vocals shine.
“Zabiore Nas”— Cleo
The video for “Zabiore Nas” is cinematic. It’s also part Lord of the Rings, part National Geographic documentary. There’s plenty of extravagant mountain scenery on display, as well as statues, a fire-breather, origami and even a horse. The entire video is shot in monochrome, helping Cleo channel her inner Nina Sublatti! There’s no sign of those red and white Polish flag colours here either!
Where is Cleo taking you in “Zabiore Nas”? Let us know in the comments below!
Zabiore Nas lyrics (translation) – Cleo
I’ll take us there for a while
Without any maps, over the top
I’ll take us there for a while
Without any maps, over the top
I’ll take you over the clouds
Where the prospect of changing point
I have nothing, I do not want anything to have permanently
Let’s run away together from here
I will free you from the hustle and bustle of cities
Continuous pursuit, uneven castes
Once again I disappear with the wind
I’ll take you over the morning dew
Where gleams the pure forest
Calm there in silence plays a lullaby
To allay the river’s current
Stone cities to come back again
You can hear them breathing ancient dreams
Read our wisdom from the words of our mouth
Peace of mind comes straight from the mountains
I’ll take us there for a while
Without any maps, over the top
I’ll take us where begins a new day
There among the stars again be muted
I’ll take us, take us
I’ll take us there for a while
Without any maps, over the top
I’ll take us there for a while
Without any maps, over the top
Her cooporation with Donatn ended after Eurovision. Now she is independent singer (thx God).
Cleo to represents Poland. This song is going to be huge hit in Poland 😉
Where is Donatan?
‘Monochrome realness’ 😀
Honestly can Poland just internally select Cleo for eternity please
“Zabior? Nas” >>I’ll Take Us<< for Eurovision 2016. That's all.
