Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Keby som bol dieťa
Slávnych a bohatých
Postavím si dom zo zlatých tehál
A nohy si vyložím

No ja som iba obyčajný chalan s dierou na riflách
Ale takto ma to baví viac.
Keby som bol väčší
Tak si autá nakúpim




Zaplatím si dievčatá a lásku si vynútim
No ja som iba ...

Overall Meaning

In Gladiator's song Obyčajný chalan, the lyrics convey a sense of contentment with the singer's current situation in life, despite the fact that he is not wealthy or famous. The first stanza begins with the hypothetical scenario of the singer being born into a rich and famous family, and how he would use his wealth to build a house out of golden bricks and relax with his feet up. However, the second stanza acknowledges that the singer is just an ordinary guy with ripped jeans, but he finds more enjoyment in this lifestyle. The third stanza begins with another imagined scenario of the singer having more wealth and power, but ultimately decides that he is happy with his life just the way it is.


The song can be interpreted as a commentary on societal expectations and the idea that happiness and fulfillment do not necessarily come from material possessions or fame. The singer seems content with his current situation despite not having everything that society deems as success. The lyrics also suggest a rejection of traditional notions of success and a celebration of simple joys and pleasures.

Keby som bol dieťa
If I were a child born into privilege


Slávnych a bohatých
Of fame and fortune


Postavím si dom zo zlatých tehál
I'd build myself a house of golden bricks


A nohy si vyložím
And rest my tired legs


No ja som iba obyčajný chalan s dierou na riflách
But I'm just a regular guy with a hole in his jeans


Ale takto ma to baví viac.
Yet, I find more joy doing things this way


Keby som bol väčší
If I were bigger


Tak si autá nakúpim
I'd buy myself some cars


Zaplatím si dievčatá a lásku si vynútim
I'd pay for girls and force love upon myself


No ja som iba ...
But I'm just...
