Niech się stanie
Farben Lehre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Niech się stanie to co ma się stać
Jeżeli przyszedł na to czas
Dla chcącego nie ma nic
Bo Ci co mają nie chcą dać
A biedni nie chcą czekać
Biedni zaczną sobie sami brać
Jeżeli przyszedł na to czas
Nie narzekaj kiedy jest Ci źle, nie
Nie uciekaj- nie ma gdzie, nie
Nie możemy załamywać się, nie
Nie możemy nie możemy, nie!
The lyrics to Farben Lehre's song Niech się stanie (Let it be) convey a message of acceptance, courage, and resilience in the face of adversity. The song urges listeners not to be afraid of what's happening around them and instead embrace whatever is meant to happen. The lines "nie wolno nam się bać tego co się dzieję na około nas" (we mustn't be afraid of what's happening around us) and "nie narzekaj kiedy jest Ci źle, nie" (don't complain when things go wrong) encourage the audience to face their problems head-on rather than avoid or deny them.
The lyrics also address the disparity between the rich and the poor, with lines such as "dla chcącego nie ma nic" (there's nothing for the one who wants) and "A biedni nie chcą czekać, biedni zaczną sobie sami brać" (poor people won't wait, they'll start taking things for themselves). This suggests that those who have more might not be willing to share with those in need, and that those who have less might resort to taking what they need by force.
Overall, the song Niech się stanie encourages a sense of agency in the face of life's challenges, and urges listeners to face their problems with courage and determination.
