Polish Folk Music

 
"Hej, górale, nie bijcie się.
Ma góralka dwa warkocze podzielicie się!"

"Hey hillbilly boys, don't fight.
The girl will dance with BOTH of you!"

Literally:
The girl has two pigtails, and she will SHARE!

 
I'm Miodusia, click me!        Hi, I'm Miodusia! The lines you just read are taken from a mountaineer song called "Góralski Taniec". You can hear a "piano" midi version of it HERE. Please excuse the construction on these Polish Folk Songs midi pages. I hope you will enjoy some of the Midis that I have found so far.
    The number that is playing is my "theme song, "Szła Dzieweczka do Laseczka". You can find out a little more about the dress I am wearing by clicking HERE.
   You can find CD's and books about Polish music at the Polish Bookstore.


Here are a few of my favorite folk songs:


Pytala Sie Pani
Góralu czy ci nie żal
     LYRICS
Krakowiak
Szła Dzieweczka do Laseczka
     LYRICS
Płynie Wisła

These are the best known Kolędy (Carols):

Dzisiaj w Betlejem
Gdy Sie Chrystus Rodzi
Lulajze Jezuniu
Pasterze Mili
PójdĽmy Wszyscy
Przybieżeli do Betlejem
Wsród Nocnej Ciszy
W Żłobie Leży



     If you see strange symbols instead of some of the "special" Polish letters, I might not be able to help you see them. But, if you want to try; take a look HERE.
