Rocksteady
Frekenbok Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ji verčia rėkti, siausti, šokti ir dainuot mane kasdien,
Ji neapsakomai ritmingai kals į smegenis ir vėl.
Aš toks patenkintas ir nesekmes šiandiena užmirštu,
Nes tai roksteady ska roksteady.

Einu gatve, man kratosi rankos, praeivis klausia:
Bičiuli, kas tau atsitiko?
Aš jam sakau, ei, praeivi, manęs tu paklausyk,
Aš tau paleisiu muzikos, kuri pati tau pasakys,
Kodėl, kai skamba ji galvoj, tai rankos pačios kratos,
O tau kratysis rankos, kojos ir galva, nes tai ska.

Ir štai šiandieną jau ne vienas taip beprotiškai krataus,
Praeivis, naujas mano draugas, straksi pagal ritmą dar labiau.
Ir jei prieisi tu prie mūsų ir paklausi, kas yra?
Tau atsakysim, tai rocksteady ska rocksteady beat.

Aplink gražu, čia daug gerų žmonių,
Tradskins, rudboyz ir šiaip linksmi veikėjai susirinko.
Ne be reikalo, ir žinom, ką mes veiksim.

Ir aš visiems šaukiu: sveiki atvykę, po velniu!
Ir man gerai, ir tau gerai, ir jai tikiuosi malonu.




Varinės dūdos ir offbytas vers iš kojų
Šią puikią muziką mes sau pasidovanojom, pirmyn!
