Rodzina
Farben Lehre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Zjednoczona komórka rodzinna
Niechaj każde z was dobrze pamięta
Rodzina rzecz święta
Dobry mąż nie pali i nie pije
Żona prasuje szyje gotuje
Synowie i córki materiał młody
Kochają pieniądze i samochody
Rodzina rodzina
Rodzina to nasza rodzina
Ogólna pruderia galeria perfumeria
Nasza rodzina kochana
Zgoda porządek życie bez skazy
Regał kieliszki rodzinne obrazy
Obiado biesiady od święta do święta
Alkohole na stole to się pamięta
Wspólne spacery do kościoła
Zawsze w niedzielę sumienie woła
Wszyscy na tacę rzucą monet kilka
Rozgrzeszona cała rodzinka
Rodzina rodzina
Rodzina to nasza rodzina
Ogólna pruderia galeria perfumeria
Nasza rodzina kochana
