Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eg beri bíbliur til Kina,
Og tað er soleiðis eg brúki mína frítíð.
200 kilo av smuglara góðsi,
Tað er trúðar imperialisma baby!
Smugling er mítt lív,
Eg bróti lóginar úti í heimi,
Átta ferð yvir um markið um dagin,
Hatta er trúðar imperialisma baby!
Ìsakaldi smuglari úti í heimi.
Trúðar imperialisma baby!
Frítíðar smuglari í kina baby!
Hatta er trúðar imperialisma baby!
