Už idú
Polemic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

roľničky cinkajú
keby spadlo trochu snehu
zimná idyla sa nás zmocnila
už idú
žiarovky blikajú
osvetľujú stromček v rohu
stôl sa prehýba, nič nám nechýba
už idú

keď piata koleda, mi počas obeda
nechtiac lezie do uší
rád to pochopím, ten čas sviatočný
stačia mi tri dni
chudák dedo mráz ide na doraz,
ale aj tak nestačí

Overall Meaning

The first two lines refer to the sound of bells ringing, most likely from cows or other livestock. The next two lines indicate that even though it's winter and there's snow falling, there's a sense of peacefulness and contentment in the air. The phrase "už idú" means "they're coming" which could refer to various things such as Christmas, or perhaps the people in the song are waiting for guests to arrive.


The next two lines mention Christmas lights blinking and illuminating a Christmas tree in the corner of the room. The image is of a perfect, cozy holiday celebration where the table is loaded with food and everyone is happy. The repetition of "už idú" reinforces the idea that something is quickly approaching, but this can be interpreted in different ways depending on the listener.


The next part lyrically jumps to a fifth carol playing at lunchtime that the singer doesn't even realize is becoming ingrained in their head. They mention being fine with only needing three days of holiday spirit to carry them through the season. The following line talks about Santa Claus appearing in advertisements, which could be a commentary on commercialization of the holiday or simply an observation on the marketing that accompanies it.


Overall, the song's tone is nostalgic and creates a sense of longing for a past holiday experience. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a warm and cozy celebration with family and friends.
