lyrics

POD BOREM

tam pod borem sosna stała
pod nią dziewczyna gorzała
oj skry na nią padały
a szaty na niej gorzały

przyjechał do niej stary pan
zarzucił na nią swój żupan
ale ona go nie chciała

przyjechał do niej młody pan
zarzucił na nią swój żupan
i mówił do niej słóweczko

żebym wiedziała będziesz mój
a dałabym ci sygnet swój
a ten sygnet szczery złoty
warszawskiej jest on roboty

żebym wiedziała będziesz mój
a dałabym ci wieniec swój
a ten mój wieniec ruciany
perłami on wysadzany

żebym wiedziała będziesz mój
a dałabym ci w mieście dom
we Warszawie kamienicę
a w Toruniu szubienicę

BY THE FOREST

a pine tree grew by the forest
underneath it a girl on fire
sparks were falling on her
and her clothes were on fire

an old man came to see her
he threw his coat over her
but she rejected him

a young man came to see her
he threw his coat over her
and whispered in her ear

if I knew you would be mine
I would give you my signet-ring
the ring is made of pure gold
by a master from Warsaw

if I knew you would be mine
I would give you my wreath
my wreath made of rue
and studded with pearls

if I knew you would be mine
I would give you a house in town
a tenement house in Warsaw
and gallows in Torun

about

Sutari Poland

the brain-child of three young women: singers, instrumentalists and performers, each from different musical and theatrical backgrounds, coming together to continue the tradition of home-made folk music. Sutari sings in the kitchen, through open windows and by the fireplace, pouring tea, walking in the woods, sitting on a bench or standing on a bridge by a lake. Sutari actually means: to harmonize. ... more
