Prawy do lewego [English translation]

There is a big table in a big hall

There are lots of guests at the table

The host bent double

Is hitting a glass with a spoon

Quiet! I'd like to make a toast,

If it is possible, in honour of

Our homeland in which we lead our life

Right, bro!

So drink up for that!

And who won't drink with us

Will be beaten up [a Polish saying, literally: we will take him between two sticks]

The one on the right to the one on the left

Drink up, mate!

Because we all know that every cloud has a silver lining [literally, it's the first part of a proverb: all bad things will once / turn into good]

There was a herring on the table

Mr Zbych saw it

And he figured out in a second

That the herring likes to swim [in Polish: 'a fish likes to swim' is an idiom encouraging to drink alcohol]

He stood up to make another toast

In honour of the sacred notion of the family

And in addition, of mother-in-laws too

Because the family is our strength!

Right, bro.....

The young people of today are not the same (as in the past)

Mr. Stach was complaining

But he banged with his hand so hard

That he spilt the beetroop soup on some lady

There is nothing to bo worried though

One can take off her dress

And someone is proposing a toast to good manners

Now it's Mr. Kazio's turn

So he took off his tie

Because it makes him look older

And although he was already drunk

He stood up gracefully with no one's help

Stuttering, he proposed

A toast to

Mrs. Mania's tits

Right, bro.....
