Help me find this Polish band and song....

youtu.be/qqVQmRmlH14

Hej Sokoly. One of my favourite Polish songs. This one, I learned the song complete with the lyrics translated into English, during some intensive Polish course in a university.

thanks! funny how a few bottles of vodka can bring out the singer in our fathers! My favourite growing up was szla dzieweczka do laseczka!

I'm trying to track a few more down... it's a mission and a half!

Merged: looking for the first line to a song " Cztery nogi w kupie.........."

My Mother is 90 and every time she hears parts of this song she laughs...so we, her daughters have been trying to jog her memory and sure enough she came up with the last 3 lines. She says it's a very dirty song....nasty..terrible. She and her sisters would sing it under their breath when the men weren't around. But as a kid I heard it because I was usually playing under the table with my Grandfather's scotty dog. It would be good to hear her laugh that way again. They were from the area around Zakopni in Mala Polska....Highlanders....well here goes. I'ts something to do with coming home from church in a hay wagon

cztery nogi w kupie,
leżał chłop na babę
i kiełbasa w dupie

I speak very rudimentary Polish and even I can recognise that's a pretty dirty song! Don't know the first line though so really am of no help.

I don't know if you wanted it translated but to me it says:

Four legs in a pile
Man laying on the old woman
And a sausage in the butt.

It's an extremely dirty song that might not have been written down very often. There may be something on the internet but nothing shows at a quick look. Maybe your best bet would be to ask someone elderly round Zakopane. There are plenty of such songs in Polish, some better known than others ("Ej po Orawie..." for example). It reminds me if one my granny used to sing (in a different language) which also never made it to the internet age.

Merged: Please help....Song my grandfather used to sing " O mama mama stoi mi............"

My grandfather and I used to sing a song on our walks together.

He past on over twenty five years ago and I have never been able to find the lyrics to the song anywhere.

Please help me.

I apologize for saying / spelling these words wrong.

Sounds like....

O mama mama stoi mi
Stoi mi pure-co ookopAlooshka

O mama mama zagra mi
Zagra mi pure-co ookopAlooshka

Thanks for your help...!!

Try this on youtube: "panno walerciu", a little different words but still the melody match I guess;) This song is still often singing on wedding receptions and due to rhymes has a little perfidious meaning:). Hope it help.

Your suggestion helped so very much, thank you.

It was not the right song but I was able to find the lyrics to help with the correct Polish words (kapelusza).

I have tracked down the title:

Stoi mi piorko u kapelusza by Jaworski, Stas

but I cannot find lyrics or additional information on this polka.

If somebody can help with this updated information, I would appreciate it a lot.

Thanks in advance.

Here's L'll Wally singing his version of the song from his album Polish Party For Adults Only - starts at 2:08 of the video.

Thank you so much for posting the video.... hearing the song brought back a lot of memories.

Can anybody help me find the written lyrics to Stoi mi piorko u kapelusza by Jaworski, Stas?

I would like to print them out & frame them with my grandfather's picture.

Merged: Nursery song starting " Puk puk puk puk panienchka? "

Hi
I am looking for an old polish nursery rhym, sang to my mother in Poland in her childhood.
It starts:
Puk puk puk puk panienchka
Does any one have a clue?

Maybe it's this one:

janbrzechwa.w.interia.pl/stobajek/zuk.html

Do biedronki przyszedł żuk,
W okieneczko puk-puk-puk.

Panieneczka widzi żuka:
"Czego pan tu u mnie szuka?"

Thank you ,but I'm not sure.. My mother remembers the beginning
I will try to write it as it sounds ...

Puk puk puk puk panienchka
Otvosh porshe okanechko
Panienchka
Otwush zewa
Ee do okna popachewa

It has to do with a bird knocking on the window of little girl.

My mother is from the pyenini mountain area . Maybe this will give a lead..

It should be it: (although different variations of this song came out)


bibliotekapiosenki.pl/Jedzie_ulan_poprzez_siolo

Thank you
I can recall some of the lines..
What is it about?
I guess my mother remember only part of it..

Was anybody able to help with written lyrics?

I have the song in digital format now; so if anybody could help document the lyrics, I will post to YouTube and add a link to this site, let me know.

Thanks again.

I couldn't find it on the Internet but if you will share a digital format I could write down the lyrics :)

[Moved from]: I am looking for an old Polish song my step dad taught me

Does anyone know an old Polish song about a dog going in a butcher shop? It is a song that repeats itself again and again. I dont know how go spell the words in Polish but I can sing it and it is dear to me. It basically says "A dog went into abutcher shop and took some meat. The fat mean butcher kills the dog. The skinny nice butcher feels bad for the dog.He buries and onhus grave it says........and repeats. Yes quite the silly song but I love it because my step dad taught me when I was a young girl and I treasure this memory. Thank you!

You mean this? I haven't found other video/mp3 on the Internet with these lyrics.

I clicked on your link and it is a man being beaten which is obviously not what I am talking about

You check here and see if it's listed: mamalisa.com/?p=664&t=ec&c=70

it is the song you've asked about, try to focus on the sound and subtitles, instead of the image

Wpadł pies do kuchni i porwał mięsa ćwierć, a jeden kucharz głupi zarąbął go na śmierć, a drugi kucharz mądry co litość w sercu miał, postawił mu nagrobek i taki napis dał...

Is this the one U mention?

Merged: Looking for a Polish song about a mother protecting her baby from bombs or war?

My husband is from Poland, and his mother died when he was quite young. He was telling me about a song she sang to him, and I would like to find it for him. He doesn't remember what it is called, but it was about a mother sheltering her baby from bombs? He said it was a very sad and beautiful melody. Does anyone know what this song is?

Hello,
in this song the mother isn't actually protecting her baby from bombs, but maybe it's this song:
youtube.com/watch?v=62N9AlkxSwA ; youtube.com/watch?v=n4x3OlI7eog (it's quite popular in Poland)

My dad and I also used to sing the Polish song Wiśi Mi Piórko u Kapelusza (Feather hanging in my hat)

The words went like this:

Oj Mamo, Mamo, wisi mi!
Wisi mi.
Oj Mamo, Mamo, wisi mi;
Wisi mi.
Wisi mi piórko u kapelusza,
Oj Mamo, Mamo, wisi mi.
Wisi mi.

Oj Mamo, Mamo zwiędło mi!
Zwiędło mi.
Oj Mamo, Mamo zwiędło mi;
Zwiędło mi.
Zwiędło mi piórko u kapelusza,
Oj Mamo Mamo, zwiędło mi.
Zwiędło mi.

In the verses the "wisi mi" and the " zwiędło mi" we sung by a second person, like an echo.

Wisi means "hang"
Zwiędło has these meanings : became lifeless, faded, drooped, wilted, withered, fainted. This all depends in the context of how the word is being used.

The word "zwiędło" does not appear to be in the Polish dictionary. So whether this is very old Polish word I have no idea. The older generation certainly do know the word and its meaning.

So in the first verse the piórko (feather) is hanging (wisi).
In the second verse the piórko (feather) has drooped or wilted (zwiędło).
In this song, "piórko" could be referring to a sexual male organ

We never did sing any more verses, so I do not know if there are any more verses to this song.

I asked my dad whether this song has any "naughty" innuendos, but he now has Altzheimer's, so although he remembers to sing the 2 verses, when asked about whether there was any sexual innuendo to this song, he replied "no". He said there are only the 2 verses and that "zwiędło" in the song means the lad's brain went dizzy and he fainted. A 77 year old Polish lady that I know told me that the word "zwiędło" means to faint. Her interpretation of the song was that the lad went dizzy and fainted, but the song could have sexual innuendos.
