Ulice Milczą
Farben Lehre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gdzies na samej gorze Bogowie i figury
W dole pracuja robotnicy - wyrobnicy
Glosno graja organy - fortepiany
Glosza wszem i wobec - "ida zmiany"

Powietrze pełne spalin i dymu z kominow
W dole gdzieniegdzie zaspiewaja ptaki
Glosno graja fabryczne maszyny
Regularnym rytmem zazebiają tryby

A ULICE MILCZA, NIC NIE MOWIA
MILCZA, MILCZA - JEDNAK WIDZA
A ULICE MILCZA, NIC NIE MOWIA
MILCZA ...

Nic się nie oplaca, mozna jedynie marzyc
O normalnym zyciu, w oczach brak wiary
Kazdy cicho siedzi w szarym kacie
Niewazne kto rzadzi, byle byly pieniadze

Gdzies na samej gorze buduja by burzyc
W dole posluszenstwo, brak jednosci
Mlodzi protestuja w piwnicach, garazach
Ale tego krzyku nikt nie zauwaza

A ULICE MILCZA, NIC NIE MOWIA
MILCZA MILCZA - JEDNAK WIDZA
A ULICE MILCZA, NIC NIE MOWIA
MILCZA - NIENAWIDZA ...
MILCZA MILCZA - W IMIE SPOKOJU
MILCZA MILCZA - BO SIE BOJA ...



MILCZA MILCZA - W IMIE SPOKOJU
MILCZA ... bo sie boja ...

Overall Meaning

The song "Ulice milczą" by Farben Lehre talks about the state of society where the working class labors in factories while the people in power and authority remain aloof in their ivory towers. The first verse of the song indicates the dichotomy between the working class and the people in power. While the people in power live in luxury and are supported by the gods, the workers labour in the factories, and their voices go unheard. The air is polluted, and the factories are filled with smoke, but the organs, pianos, and machines create loud sounds announcing the arrival of change.


However, the reality is that nothing changes. Society remains stagnant, and the people continue to dream of a normal life, which they don't believe will come true. Everyone keeps quiet, sits in their corners, and follows the rules, regardless of who is in power as long as they have money. The young generation tries to protest, but no one listens to their screams, and society remains silent. The chorus of the song thrice repeats the phrase "A ulice milczą, nic nie mówią" which means "The streets are silent, they say nothing," indicating the absence of change or voice of dissent.


The lyrics of "Ulice milczą" voice the need for change in society, but at the same time, it makes evident the stark reality that nothing changes. The people in power remain immune and duty-bound towards the people in society, and regular life for the working class continues.
