Sila w nas
Farben Lehre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
KTá"RA ZNISZCZY TO CO W NAS
NIE MA TAKIEJ SIŁY
KTá"RA ZNISZCZY TO CO W NAS
Synowie i córki Polski Ludowej
Ciągle na topie, dbają o swoje
Młodzi Ludzie godni uwagi
NIE MA TAKIEJ SIŁY...
Każdy maskę dzisiaj zakłada
Liczy się kasa, liczy się władza
Mam uczucia, własne zdanie
Jestem sobą i tak zostanie
NIE MA TAKIEJ SIŁY...
Jeszcze żyję, oddycham i widzę
Potrafię kochać, potrafię nienawidzieć
Nikt nie odbierze mi tego co robię
Jestem człowiekiem, myślę jak człowiek
NIE MA TAKIEJ SIŁY...
The song "Sila w nas" by Farben Lehre is a protest song that talks about the strength that lies within us, which cannot be destroyed by an external force. The lyrics, "Nie ma takiej sily, ktora zniszczy to co w nas" which translates to "There is no power that can destroy what is inside us" is repeated throughout the song to emphasize this message.
The song starts by addressing the sons and daughters of People's Poland, who are still relevant and care about their own interests, but have left behind the younger generation who feel neglected and alone. The next few lines talk about how everyone wears a mask today, and only money and power matter. The singer then talks about how they have their own feelings and opinions, and they will remain true to themselves.
The last verse talks about how the singer is still alive, breathing, and seeing things, and they can both love and hate. They also assert that no one can take away what they do, as they are human and think like one. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus emphasizing the message that nothing can destroy what is inside us.
