Za Dziesięć Trzynasta
Shakin' Dudi Lyrics

The lyrics of Shakin' Dudi's song "Za Dziesięć Trzynasta" are centered around a young man waiting in line to receive his money in hand. He is currently waiting in a queue where he is recognized by everyone and he also recognizes them. With his money in hand which had been counted out to him, he feels light and confident as thirty others stand in front of him. He begins to feel impatient and uneasy about waiting and decides to light a cigarette in a trembling hand. Two of his friends join him in line and they pass the time by practicing how to wear their hats.

The countdown to the thirteenth hour is prominent in the lyrics as the young man waits in line with his friends. The phrase 'Za 10 minut trzynasta' ('in 10 minutes it will be 1 pm') is repeated twice before changing to 'Już za 5 minut trzynasta' ('in 5 minutes it will be 1 pm'). As the thirteenth hour strikes, it signals a new day which brings a sense of relief as the queue starts to move faster. The young man places an order for three bottles rather than five, showing his frugality and practicality.

The song is a reflection of the daily struggles people face in Poland. The long queues for money and the need to be economical with resources are prominent themes throughout the song. The lyrics also capture the sense of camaraderie and community, which is seen in the familiarity between the young man and his acquaintances.
