[Verse 1]
In Slovenia they speak with three
Not just one or two, you see
Singular for me alone
Dual for two, plural's grown
Biti means "to be" my friend
This is where we'll start and begin
[Chorus]
Sem, si, je - that's one, two, three
Sva, sta for two, can't you see
Smo, ste, so - for many more
Biti's forms you can't ignore
Conjugate for who you are
Slovenian verbs will take you far
[Verse 2]
When you want to say "I'm not"
Nisem, nisi, that's the plot
Ni for he or she denies
Nisva, nista for two tries
Nismo, niste, niso too
Negative forms through and through
[Chorus]
Sem, si, je - that's one, two, three
Sva, sta for two, can't you see
Smo, ste, so - for many more
Biti's forms you can't ignore
Conjugate for who you are
Slovenian verbs will take you far
[Verse 3]
Delati means "work" or "do"
Delam, delaš, dela too
Delava when there's just two
Delamo, delate, delajo
Pattern stays the same each time
Conjugation's paradigm
[Bridge]
A-T-I verbs like delati
Imeti, vedeti, you see
I-T-I verbs govoriti
Hoditi walking carefully
O-V-A-T-I kupovati
Classes help you learn with glee
[Verse 4]
Like in Russian, aspects matter
Perfective makes action shatter
Pisati writes but never ends
Napisati completion sends
Na and po and za prefix
Perfect aspect quickly fix
[Outro]
Three numbers, persons too
Slovenian verbs are calling you
Practice biti every day
Soon you'll speak the Slovenian way
