seš cowboy v Coloradu můžeš krávy pást"
Já radši utratil sem psa a všechny prachy
do srdce Evropy a odjel v klidu krást
Narvaný kapsy, prsteny, řetězy zlatý
tam kolem krku místní indiáni maj
a ty co nemakaj, tak sou nejvíc bohatý
Z Billa na Nováka změnim si svý jméno
a až tu malou zemi celou rozkradem(rozkradem)
tak se vrátím ve svý rodný Colorado
a o tý zlatý žíle řeknu doma všem
Tam kradou všichni, co blízko vokolo bydlej
šerif se na ně jenom hezky usmívá
kdyby se nesmál, tak ho okamžitě zmydlej
házej mu kosti za to, že se nedívá
Místo krav tam, nelžu vám, prej pasou holky
a když jim nezaplatíš, vyrazej ti dech
ale s IQ to tam nebude tak horký
místo na koních tam jezděj v medvědech
Z Billa na Nováka změnim si svý jméno
a až tu malou zemi celou rozkradem(rozkradem)
tak se vrátím ve svý rodný Colorado
a o tý zlatý žíle řeknu doma všem
A o tý zlatý žíle řeknu doma všem
The lyrics of Kabát's song Colorado tell a story of a young man who disobeys his father's advice to pursue a career as a cowboy in Colorado and instead decides to travel to Europe to steal money. The singer spends his time robbing people until he collects enough riches to return home to his native Colorado, where he plans to tell everyone about the gold vein he has discovered.
The song's lyrics are full of humor and irony, as the atypical cowboy protagonist is not interested in cattle but rather in stealing from others. The perspective the song offers is that of a disillusioned youth who turns to thievery out of economic necessity or lack of opportunity. The singer's plan to return home as a wealthy man suggests that he sees stealing as the only way to achieve success and happiness.
Overall, Colorado is a rebellious song that critiques traditional ideas of success and offers a glimpse into the underground culture of crime and theft.
