The subject of this article is the relationship between literature and the text of song. First part of article concerns the songs which texts approach to literature and begin to exist in the listeners' consciousness independently from the melody. In contemporary Polish music are this: Niech żyje bal, Autobiografia, Nie pytaj o Polskę or Wychowanie. Texts of these songs are analysed and interpreted. Second part of article tells about poems which serve as texts of songs. The author of article shows twentieth-century Polish poets, which texts be sung (Julian Tuwim, Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński, Edward Stachura, Ewa Lipska etc.) and using with poems musicians (Czesław Niemen, Marek Grechuta, Ewa De-marczyk, Grzegorz Turnau). The author writes also about methods of adaptation of poems on need of songs.

The article presents the phenomenon named by the author melosemy. Melosemy is a sensible additions of the poetic text by the connection of his semantic structures with the melody or with vocal and instrumental techniques. The exemplary material for the presentation of this phenomenon from the borderline of music and text are songs of a contemporary polish poet singing own texts with the accompaniment of a guitar — Jacek Kaczmarski (1957—2004). Melosemy is treated as an important aesthetic catego-ry in the creativeness of the bard. The conclusion of the text opens a wider research area: it is possible to find melosemy both in the creative output of other authors from the range of the poetic song, as well as in soundtracks and folk music.

Among numerous songs written by Wasowski and Przybora for the tv and radio show Old Gentlemen´s Cabaret two: Piosenka jest dobra na wszystko (A Song is a Universal Reme-dy) from the Fifth Evening of the Cabaret (14 May 1960) and Mambo Spinoza from the Eighth Evening (4 November 1961) might be considered autothematic. They represent an idea of ‘a song about a song’ — a common theme or motif in Polish popular music. In reaction to ideological degeneration of different forms of mass entertainment between 1949 and 1955 (the period known as Stalinism), Wasowski and Przybora decided to ‘redefine’ a song, writing these two pieces full of humour and allusions.
