Farben Lehre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Siłą naszych serc otwieramy wszystko
Sen o wolności niechaj się ziści
Trzeba niszczyć wszystko co niszczy
Najwyższy czas nowa era
Reggae pozytywna atmosfera
Otwierać bramy nowa koalicja
Razem nie osobno jesteśmy jedną armią
Niepokonani siejemy zdrowe ziarno
Magiczne źródło fatum odmienia
A to co dobre niech się rozprzestrzenia
Najwyższy czas nowa era
Reggae pozytywna atmosfera
Otwierać bramy nowa koalicja
Reggae pozytywna amunicja
