Whisky
Dżem Lyrics

The song "Whisky" by Dżem tells the story of a man who is perceived by the townspeople as a typical drunkard. He is dirty, sleeps in a stable and has no sense of shame. The society condemns him as someone with no morals or virtues. In the first stanza, the singer acknowledges what people say about him and how they perceive him. He then contemplates changing his ways and becoming respectable. He wished to sleep in a clean bed and drink fresh milk. He even thought of getting married to fit in with society.

The second verse reveals that he had his eye on a magnificent hacienda but no beautiful woman wanted to live there with him. They all saw him as a person who wears a beautiful suit but would not make a good husband. However, the chorus reveals that despite society's judgment, the singer has found comfort in whiskey, which he considers his "wife." He swears to never let her go and admits that the worst thing in life is being lonely.

The lyrics showcase a person who is misunderstood by society, even if he tries to change his ways. They highlight the fact that people can find solace and comfort in things that society perceives as harmful. The song is an anthem for those who are often misjudged and seek refuge in things deemed undesirable by society.
