Eldo "Zapiski 1001 Nocy" (Notes of 1001 nights) Released on 29 June 2010 by My Music record label. The album was promoted by music video for the song Pozyc mi Pluca ("Lend Me Lungs.").
This album is a great work of the polish hip-hop elite. Combining lyrics by Eldo and beats by the returners will give you the CD that you will listen to over and over again. Lyrics side of the album is about the life in a capital of Poland as well as the personal experiences of Eldo. Eldo is mostly know from his full of thought, smart, multi-meaning and strong lyrics so you can probably find even more meanings for it. On all of the earlier CDs of Eldo, as well as in Grammatik formation that he was involved in you can find very thoughtful lyrics that will make you think more about each word he says. Also he tries to pass on some positive values to teenagers thru rap. The musical part of the CD is also one of the best suited and best finished pieces of The Returners' work. They use a lot of effects and the additional noises that are very pleasant to hear and they also make the CD flow together like it should. Zapiski 1001 nocy were nominated for a polish album of the year award. It actually didn't win but it took a second place after Tede (Glam rap) album. This is surely giving a hope for future that polish rap will be more widely known and people will come in contact with it more often.

I choose the projects, all this shit
Capital Szmyt, New Era, 65, Nike Jumping
Hair in buns, lady pushing thru the bus 18
Girl screams at the guy, they are on a date
Urban folklore, urban breath of CPN (gas station)
Saxon Garden, a sheet of paper on the bench, in the lungs of oxygen
I see the sky, I vs day, one to zero
This first period, did not count your chickens before half-time
He says common sense, the heart pushes me to dance
Hand with emotions, streets
the memory
Step by step, hoping like a fool
With my heart in my hand so I'll go until I drop dead
When fate says "done", anytime
Grim Reaper in the ring gets me in good shape
Run up and move with earwire
Fishy eyes never, not even when fate plays tricks with us
Stales rush to make money on gold Fingle
At all costs, but you will never wash your soul (no)
All right, I have an armored skeleton
Resurrection is giving birth to immortal humans
Those naughty kids hiding behind the gates (warsaw)
Those stales that fell here make money (warsaw)
Check it yourself, fall in love with them easily
Mermaid castle for us much more than the town
Warsaw - never asleep, it is unlikely to change
And while we dream, we stand firmly on the ground
I mock, I laugh, this is our character
Day and night happens,
the volcano is hidden beneath the city
Here is socreal still elegant pastiche
Al'a marble splendor of corporations versus al'a
Squinting eye, the rat race continues
The mission to make cash, stick to the ballet platinum
(City of temptations) n what are you? Sherlock, bravo
When did you find out that you met a whore in the projects days ago
(Come on) temptations pull souls of sinners
Boorish heart that wash their conscience in the potty
It is a city of sun and a Second Chance
Endless opportunities if you have motivation
City of luck, legends and history
His light will set your soul on the fire and release it
It is a city (Warsaw), where the devil is lurking around the corner
It's jealousy, someone wants to trip you over
Check it yourself, fall in love with it easily
Mermaid castle for us much more than the just town
Our girls are the best (know it)
Even with in your city she is the only one beautiful
This food, hence the genes have charm
Sassy, confident, a lady with a full culture
You will not fit it, even we have a problem with that
With this as a wild horse to break and give it the confidence
Quiet days and warm on future days
Be its light when it is dark
Wisla, then the vodka in Bristol
Maybe two, maybe until the glasses will fall off the table
It knows, you just tune
I can run, a two run like a light
My city, my lifestyle, my paradise
My o2, h2o my, my hay
Come by and I will explain the essence of
Homo Varsoviensis licensed guide
It's legends, myths, stereotypes
This whole Polish phobia, although no one knows the reasons
Check it yourself, fall in love with him easily
Mermaid castle for us much more than the town
This style
, Identity and everyday life
This diamond from backyards, overcome mediocrity here
It's blood, pride, fame, life
Born and live and die here, and nowhere else
