UR
Adi Smolar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jaz na uru,
On na uru,
Vsi na uru:
Ur je vsepovsod.
En s kitaro,
En s tenorjem,
En z basom,
Dretje vsepovsod!
Dim v ustih,
Dim v pljuih,
Dim v glavi,
Dim v krvi:
Iki vsepovsod!
Pir v ustih,
Pir v elodcu,
Pir v glavi,
Nops v krvi:
Flae vsepovsod!
Saj to je ur, ur, ur,
To je ur, ur, ur,
Res teek ur.
Saj to je ur, ur, ur,
To je ur, ur, ur,
Tapravi ur.
Dva za mizo,
Dva pod mizo,
En na stolu,
En pod stolom:
Pijanci vsepovsod!
Zgoraj strop
In spodaj strop,
Zgoraj tla
In levo tla
Kozlanje vsepovsod!
Saj to je ur, ur, ur,
To je ur, ur, ur,
Res teek ur.
Saj to je ur, ur, ur,
To je ur, ur, ur,
Tapravi ur.
Mastni vici,
Mastne roke,
Mastne misli,
Mastno spodaj:
Mastno vsepovsod!
V hii soba,
V sobi postla,
V postli ti,
V tebi jaz:
Pari vsepovsod!
Saj to je ur, ur, ur,
To je ur, ur, ur,
Res teek ur.
Saj to je ur, ur, ur,
To je ur, ur, ur,
Tapravi ur.
Jaz 'mam maka,
Ti 'ma maka,
On 'ma maka,
Ona mucko:
Maki vsepovsod!
Jaz pospravljam,
Ti pospravlja,
On pospravlja,
Vsak pospravlja:
Zdaj je isto vsepovsod!
To bil je ur, ur, ur,
To bil je ur, ur, ur,
Res teek ur.
To bil je ur, ur, ur,
To bil je ur, ur, ur,
Tapravi ur.
To bil je ur, ur, ur,
To bil je ur, ur, ur,
Res teek ur.
To bil je ur,
To bil je ur,
To bil je
U u u, u u u,
U u u, u u u, uuuuuur!
The song "Ur" by Adi Smolar is a satirical and humorous commentary on the excesses and indulgences of modern society. The lyrics describe various scenes and situations where people are consumed by their vices, whether it's alcohol, smoking, loud music, crude jokes, or sexual desires. The repeated phrase "saj to je ur" (this is the hour) emphasizes the idea that these behaviors are not just occasional lapses but have become a way of life for many people.
The first stanza sets the tone by declaring that everyone is "on the clock" (na uru) and that the hour is everywhere (ur je vsepovsod). The following stanzas depict different types of addiction or obsession, such as playing music (en s kitaro), shouting (en s krianjem), or drinking (pir v ustih). The lyrics also play with the idea of things being the same everywhere (vsi na uru, vsak pospravlja), although the situations themselves are often absurd or inappropriate (pijanci vsepovsod, kozlanje vsepovsod).
Overall, the song is a critique of the superficiality and emptiness of modern life, where people are distracted by trivialities and lose touch with deeper values and emotions. By using a humorous and exaggerated style, Adi Smolar is able to convey this message in a way that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.
