Orkiestra św. Mikołaja - Pieśń Sobótkowa

Sunday Song

Next to John, next to John,
Next to John, next to John,
Next to John, next to John,

- There the girls have gathered,
And fire they ignited,
There did dim midnight met with them,
Shortest Night, Kopiel of mine*,
- There the girls have gathered,
And fire they ignited,
There did dim midnight met with them...

...Next to John, next to John(3),

- There the girls have gathered,
And fire they ignited,
There did dim midnight met with them,

There on, the mountain, fire blazes,
On this mountain are two threes.
One three is holy,
On this three is a cradle.
In this cradle lies miss Hanna,

She was swyed by two brothers, two brothers,
They did sway, they did sway*,
Oversway - and threw her out.
With face did Hanna hit the ground,
With her face, and with herath she hit the flint.

And brother shall ask :
Is she healthy is she good.
Her response : "My brother,
Heard ackes, hearth withers,
Shall I die, my brothers,
Bury me in in garden,
And plant three herbs*,

A jak się zjadą panowie
Będą tę ziemię łamali,
Będą też mnie wspominali:
"Tutaj leży panna Hanna,
Panna Hanna, siostra nasza -

Shortest Night, Kopiel of mine(6)
