I'm looking for the czech lyrics to a folk song (well I believe its a folk song, it was sung in the days that people lived in Castles.) Anyway, the song is a duet with a man and woman. The man is telling the woman that God gave her to him and she will love him forever. Throughout the song she says she will turn into different things to stay away from him and that she will never love him not even for one hour. Every verse, he has a solution to what she wants to turn into, for instance when she turns into a star and hide among the planets, he has a telescope and he will find her and pull her back to him because God gave her to him and she will love him forever. She replies, I'll never love you not even for one hour. Anyway, the song is beautiful and I've never heard it in English nor do I want to. But it was translated to me and I loved it. I would like the lyrics if anyone knows of a website where this song can be found (czech lyrics) so I can try to learn the song. Also, if anyone is really bored, it would be nice to see a written English translation as well. Sorry I don't have the name of the song. I hope someone recognizes it by the story line. Thanks
Thank you soooooooooooo much If anyone out there is bored and feels like translating it, be my guest!
Here is another one http://zpevnik.wz.cz/?gr=lidove-pisne&sn=31 Same topic but a Czech song (the previous one is Moravian).
Sorry, now I see you asked for the Jana’s version. I googled this sample sung by Minnesengři (Žalman): http://www.czechmusic.net/jmena/minnesen.mp3 (283 KB) or this version sung by a band I never heard about http://www.vseznalek.cz/duobell/kdyby_tady_byla.mp3 (3.8 MB) or this brass music version http://www.hovorane.cz/kdyby_tady_byla.mp3 (4.2 MB)
Wow, a pat on the back to the Moravians. The Moravian version is much more enjoyable. Sorry Bohemians but you loose this one.
Ya, it's me the night in shining armor. :lol: I don't know if this is the Moravian or the Bohemian, but it's very pretty.. http://www.czechmusic.net/jmena/minnesen.mp3
I just listened to the others, they are all very pretty. The one by the brass band, sounds very similar to Polska music that you might here in Pennsylvania. Polska music is quite popular in that area of the country.
You are right. I meant Polka. It does sound similar to that style music though. Didn't know it was the national dance. It is very nice.
No wonder when I heard it I thought, "That sounds exactly like the one they play at those Czech Celebrations in Chicago."
Did you guys know that the most famous Czech song that is being sung abroad is the "Beer barrel polka" ???? (SKoda lasky)?? The second czech song is "Lady Carneval" sang by Karel Gott.... I wrote a post about it in my blog www.czechmatediary.com. Czech it out!

This song was on in the pub the other night and it really floored me, it's so beautiful. Luckily someone was able to stop singing for long enough to write down the name of it for me and I found it on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez31V68U ... re=related Someone there also posted an english translation of the lyrics, i think it's upside down though And I´ll make myself A star in the sky And I will shine For all the people on Earth I won´t be yours though Even for an hour And there are Such a star-gazers at my home They can count All the stars in the sky And you have to be mine Or you´ll be given to me by Lord And I´ll make myself A big crow And I´ll fly away from you Far away to the Hungarian side I won´t be yours though Even for an hour And I have at home Such an old crossbow It will shoot The spirit out of all crows And you have to be mine Or you´ll be given to me by Lord And I´ll make myself A little fish And I´ll gloat away from you Far away in Danube I won´t be yours though Even for an hour And I have at home Such a barb I will hunt down all kind of fishes With this one And you have to be mine Or you´ll be given to me by Lord And I´ll make myself A little squirrel And I´ll jump far from you From the oak on the fir I won´t be yours though Even for an hour And I have at home Such an axe It will make fall down Both the oak and the fir And you have to be mine Or you´ll be given to me by Lord You are troubled in vain My dear sonny I don´t care for you in my heart In my heart And I won´t be yours Even for an hour What are you thinking about My dear lass For your are my heart My bonny heart And you have to be mine Or you´ll be given to me by Lord
