Farben Lehre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Po przyjściu do domu od razu w nie wskoczyłem.
Ludzie dziwnie się na mnie patrzyli,
Czuję że oni mi zazdrościli.
Nikt na świecie nie ma takich spodni jak ja.
Cała Fioletowe, szerokie (lalala)
Nikt na świecie nie ma takich spodni jak ja.
Cała Fioletowe, szerokie (lalala)
Spodnie na mnie pasują jak ulał.
Super w ogóle wiecie mam gust.
Zaraz schowam je do szuflady.
Żeby w niedziele znowu w nich pójść.
Nikt na świecie nie ma takich spodni jak ja.
Cała Fioletowe, szerokie (lalala)
Nikt na świecie nie ma takich spodni jak ja.
Cała Fioletowe, szerokie (lalala)
Dżinsy i sztruksy to nie mój styl.
Kolor fioletu wciąż mi się śni.
Zimno na dworze w domu moim cisza.
Puchar świata w ręku Małysza
Nikt na świecie nie ma takich spodni jak ja.
Cała Fioletowe, szerokie (lalala)
Nikt na świecie nie ma takich spodni jak ja.
Cała Fioletowe, szerokie (lalala)
The song "Spodnie z GS-u" by Farben Lehre tells the story of a person who buys a pair of unique, violet and wide-legged pants from a store called "GS". Upon returning home and wearing the pants, the person feels as though others are envious and admiring of the bold fashion choice. The singer feels confident in the pants, declaring that they fit perfectly and match their personal style. The song repeats the line that no one in the world has pants quite like theirs, highlighting the uniqueness of the item.
The lyrics can be interpreted as a celebration of individuality, as the singer is proud to wear something that is not popular or mainstream. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes how the singer embraces their unique style and refuses to conform to societal norms. The mention of the ski jumper Adam Małysz, who won the Ski Jumping World Cup multiple times, may add another layer to the song, hinting at the idea of breaking records and standing out from the crowd.
Overall, "Spodnie z GS-u" is a fun and upbeat anthem for anyone who feels confident in wearing what they love, regardless of what others may think. It encourages listeners to embrace their individuality and not be afraid to stand out from the crowd.
