Kaliber 44

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kaliber 44 is a Polish hip hop band formed in 1994 in Katowice by Piotr Łuszcz ("Magik"), Marcin Marten ("Dab") and Michał Marten ("Joka"). The name of the group does not come from a gun, but from the calibre of problems the group spoke about and the number 44 is a reference to Dziady written by Adam Mickiewicz.

Nad ludy i nad króle podniesiony;
Na trzech stoi koronach, a sam bez korony;
A życie jego - trud trudów,
A tytuł jego - lud ludów;
Z matki obcej, krew jego dawne bohatery,
A imię jego czterdzieści i cztery.
Above people, and above kings lifted;
He stands on three crowns, but himself is without a crown;
And his life - the hardest of hardships,
And his title - the person of the people;
From a foreign mother, his blood is of ancient heroes;
And his name forty and four.
