Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bratem mi ty bratem ci ja
Stare kolesie my są dwa
Menelem ty menelem ja
Razem łykamy oba dwa
A kiedy ktoś ma do nas coś
I bardzo działa nam na złość
Z bani mu ty z bani mu ja
Bo my są goście sia la la

Bratem mi ty bratem ci ja
Razem na włamie my są dwa
Dziargi masz ty dziargi mam ja
Siedzimy razem oba dwa
A kiedy ty masz do mnie coś
I bardzo działasz mnie na złość

Z bani mi ty z bani ci ja
I bez urazy wszycho gra
