The lyrics are switching between social criticism and every days joys and sorrows.
Jar's music has - almost like the musical history of Jamaica – over time developed from ska to reggae. Other influences like funk, blues or punk are used to add to the mix, creating a very own interpretation of the already varied genre.

Jar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do mnie nie zajadą bo nie mam posagu
Laj laj laj
Choć nie mam posagu ani swego domu
Jeszcze mnie matula nie da lada komu
Panieńska uroda jak ta bystra woda
Przepłynie przeminie czy ci nas nie szkoda
Laj laj laj
Tobie świeci miesiąc a mnie świecą gwiazdy
Ciebie kocha jedna a mnie kocha każdy
Laj laj laj
In "Jadą goście jadą", Jar-e sings about his lack of wealth and possessions despite the fact that guests are passing by his orchard. He acknowledges that they won't stop to visit because he has no dowry to offer. However, he still finds value in himself because his mother still loves and supports him. Jar-e then muses on the fleeting nature of beauty, comparing it to the swift flow of water. He wonders whether someone will regret not having feelings for him when that beauty fades, before finishing with a tongue-in-cheek contrast between himself and the listener. While the moon shines only for the listener, Jar-e claims to be loved by everyone, emphasizing the disparity between their situations.
The song is full of contrasts, both in the lyrics and the music. Jar-e sings about poverty while accompanied by a jaunty accordion and upbeat melody, creating an ironic juxtaposition. Additionally, he contrasts his lack of posh possessions with his status as a beloved son. He also reveals the different ways that he and the listener are valued, with the listener apparently having more prestige and status, while Jar-e has universal appeal. These contrasts make the song more complex than a simple lament on inequality.
Overall, "Jadą goście jadą" is a humorous and nuanced exploration of class differences and personal worth, with catchy music and clever lyrics.
