The Greatest Things in Life are Free
We all work hard to make ends meet
Buy clothes to wear and food to eat.
But very soon, we all want more
And money’s all we’re living for.
Sometimes it’s fun to just splash out
But that’s not what life’s all about!
The greatest things in life are free
You can’t buy love on a shopping spree.
Happiness is not for sale
You won’t find health on a cut price rail.
They have no prices, low or high
They’re riches money just can’t buy.
Even the richest man alive
Needs more than money to survive.
If you have friends and family
Then you’re as rich as you can be.
Forget your cash, forget your greed
For you have all the wealth you need.
The title suggests that the most valuable aspects of life (like love, happiness, and relationships) cannot be bought with money (не в деньгах счастье). This contrasts with the materialistic words and phrases listed, which focus on financial desires and wealth.
- make ends meet (свести концы с концами) — struggling financially, but the song reminds us that true happiness isn’t about money
- want more (хотеть большего) — human greed for material things, while the song emphasizes contentment with free joys
- shopping spree (шопинг лихорадка) — temporary pleasure from buying things, unlike lasting happiness from free things.
- health (здоровье) — priceless and cannot be bought
- riches (богатые) — the song implies that real rich people have love and freedom, not money
- survive (выживать) — money helps, but the song suggests emotional survival depends on free things
- friends and family (друзья и семья) — the free greatest things in life
- cash (бумажные деньги) — represents the opposite of the song’s values
- greed (жадность) — obsession with money over simple joys
- wealth you need (богатство, которое вам нужно) — according to the song, real wealth is love, freedom, health
