Lullaby

A New Tune to Traditional Words

Sleep, darling, close your eyes and slumber deep,

my lovely angel sleep, oh sweetly sleep.

Sleep, darling, close your eyes and slumber deep,

my beautiful white dove, sleep, sweetly sleep.

And may you dream about the meadows green,

of white doves and red roses may you dream.

Sleep, darling, close your eyes and slumber deep,

my lovely angel sleep, oh sweetly sleep,

my beautiful white dove, sleep, sweetly sleep, 

sleep, sweetly sleep, sleep, sweetly sleep.

Keď na deň zvoniť mali

Slová: Ivan Krasko

Keď na deň zvoniť mali, vyšli sme.

Vyšli sme za prítmia, tak za šera

čakali, že snáď na úsvite

stratí sa nedôvera

a celý deň sme sami šli

v dôvere, bez oddychu,

dúfali, že snáď unavení

skrotíme krutú pýchu...

A večerom dva spolu došli sme,

bez pýchy tak nesvojskí!

A jedno srdce skučalo, och!

Tak biedne psovsky, tak biedne psovsky.

====

Before They Rang in the New Day

Words: Ivan krasko

Before they rang in the new day, we departed.

We departed in dusk, so in the half-light we expected

that perhaps at dawn

mistrust world be dispelled

and all day we ourselves

went in trust, without respite,

hoping, perhaps, though weary,

we would humble cruel pride.

At evening we two came together,

without pride, so alien!

And one heart howled, och!

Dog-miserable then, dog-miserable then.

Mikuláš Schneider-Trnavský: Songs (2014)

Pavol Breslik: Tenor

Guslar

Slová: Svetozár Hurban Vajanský

Hercegovinou guslar blúdi,

spieva u prahov dobrých ľudí;

guslar je slepý, malý syn

vždy pri ňom, jako jeho stín.

Z úskalia Turek povyskočí,

nad hlavou ťažký handžár točí:

valí sa synka mladá krev,

lež neuhasí Turka hnev.

„Sem gusle! Gusle o skalinu

udre a hodí rozsadlinu.

Zajačali bôľne - desný spev,

lež nezhasí Turka ľúty hnev:

„Sem novce!“ Novce Turek v ruku,

k tomu ječermu, pojas, stuku

a z hlavy chomáč šediny,

tak zmizol v temné skaliny.

A čo mu nechal?

V starej hrudi pieseň.

Ach, tá sa búrno vzprúdi,

pomstou zapáli celý kraj;

Bože, tú pieseň požehnaj.

=====

Fiddler

Words: Svetozár Hurban Vajanský

The Hercegovina fiddler romas,

he sings in decent people's homes;

the fiddler's blind, his young son there

is with him always, everywhere.

A Turk leaps from the rocks nearby,

waving his scimitar on high;

the young son's blood streams forth in spate,

but the mad Turk's rage dose not abate.

"The fiddle!" Smashing it in spite,

he flings it down the rocks with might.

It moans a frightful song of pain,

but that crazed Turk demands again:

"Your money!" Grabbing his small purse

and all the fiddler had of worth

and fistfuls of his old grey locks,

the Turk went off among the rocks.

What did he leave with him?

A song in his old breast.

Oh, soon like fire it will erupt,

the land will burn to avenge its wrong;

Bless, O Lord, this song.

Magdaléna

Slová: Vladimír Roy

Vídaval som ju v prepych, jase,

zrak jej plál ohňom dráždených túh.

Peľ ruže v lícach, bujarosť v hlase,

v salône vonnom milencov ruch.

Teraz šat čierny, kto zná, čo smúti?

V hlbokim oku - lomený lúč,

pobledlá prelesť k sústrasti núti...

„pomiluj, Pane, odpúšťať uč!“

Pokľakla, na rtoch kajúcnosť nemá,

po líci bielom sĺz kanie prúd...

To pre náš klub je výborná téma!

Za chrbtom znie mi milenca súd.

To pre náš klub je výborná téma!

Za chrbtom znie milenca súd.

=====

Magdalen

Words: Vladimír Roy

I used to see her in proud abandon,

her bright eyes burning with lusts and longings,

rouge on her cheeks, and voice son wanton,

in the scented salon her lovers thronging.

Now dressed in black, for who knows what grieving?

The light is duller in her deep eye...

"O lord, have mercy, and teach forgiving!"

Her pale charm forces our sympathy.

She knelt, but her lips have no contrition,

down her white cheek falls a flood of tears...

A splendid theme for our club discussion!

her lover declares behind me here.

A splendid theme for our club discussion!

her lover declares behind me here.

Chryzantémy

Slová: Vladimír Roy

Tak bájny je kvet chryzantém

v tom mori suchých listov;

už všetko zvädlo, on sám len tu zostal,

tu zostal s nehou čistou.

On techou je mi jedinou,

to symbol mojej túžby,

nejedna pošla maninou,

zomrela spiatá húžvy...

Len jedna, jedna zostala...

či, vernou bude stále?

Už pŕchnu lístky chryzantém,

mne srdcom tiahnu žiale;

Už pŕchnu lístky chryzantém,

mne srdcom tiahnu žiale.

Chrysanthemums

Words: Vladimír Roy

Chrysanthemum, flower of fable,

in the dead leaves' dried-up sea!

All's faded, but it remains here,

remains in its purity.

The symbol of my yearnings,

my refuge at the last;

all the rest were dead-end turnings,

and shriveling the passed.

One, only one's unchanged...

oh, will it always remain?

The chrysanthemum's leaves are falling, 

they pierce my heart with pain;

the chrysanthemum's leaves are falling, 

they pierce my heart with pain.

Pavol Breslik: Tenor

Róbert Pechanec: Piano

Neobzeraj sa

Slová: Andrej Žarnov

Minúty v reťaz kujú ohnivá, ohnivá,

blen i sladkosť rovnakú má cenu.

kto ide, hroby zabúda, zabúda,

neobzeraj sa, neobzeraj.

Tvár je slnce padlé do cesty, padlé do cesty,

boje boli, boje budú.

S ťarchou len ísť a ísť, s ťarchou len ísť a ísť.

Neobzeraj sa, neobzeraj.

Paria sa štice, nebo pod klobúkom,

slovo je slamou suchou, suchou na vartu,

válka hrá divne, vlož i srdce.

Neobzeraj sa, neobzeraj.

Na ťažkých zvonoch rany zrejú,

zobákom slnce kľuje noc;

neobzeraj sa neobzeraj,

nik nepríde na pomoc.

=====

Do Not Look Round

Words: Andrej Žarnov

The minutes in their chain forge links, forge links,

the bile and sweetness are of equal value.

And the that moves forgets the graves, forgets,

do not look round, do not look round.

The face is a sun fallen on the road, fallen on the road,

battles were, battles will be.

With your burden just go on, with your burden just go on.

Do not look round, do not look round.

Matted hair is steaming, the sky's beneath your hat,

the word is dry straw, straw that's bonfire-dry;

war can play strange tricks, so pack your heart away.

Do not look round, do not look round.

Wounds are maturing in the heavy bells,

the sun's beak pecks the night;

do not look round, do not look round,

no one will be coming to your aid.

We're Sitting Here In Sadness

Words: Janko Jesenský

We're sitting here in sadness, impossible to hide,

from that one little valley, from that one little valley,

the music's playing loudly, we hear the violin speak.

If only what divides us were just a hundred peaks!

See my little shirt, 'twas sewn by my sweetheart,

of silken thread she wove there in the green grove,

of silken thread she wove there in the green grove.

She stitched and stitched again, her tears fell like the rain:

"Oh, I wish I never knew you,

never knew you!

I wish I never knew you,

I wish I never knew you,

when I loved you, fine young fellow, all in vain!"

it's just my medicine, it heals this heart of mine;

for ages now it's hurting, nothing can cure it, and why?

Because the miller maid with someone else is going-ing-ing-ing,

Because the miller maid with someone else is going.

Pour the wine then, miller maid, one last glass for me,

and gather round me, friends, soon my funeral will be,

lay me in the grave, and fare you well, and why?

Remember me with a glass of wine

and a greeting to that miller maid of mine.

(23/25) Drink the Wine, My Lads / Pime chlapci, pime víno

23. Drink the Wine, My Lads / Pime chlapci, pime víno

Mikuláš Schneider-Trnavský: Songs (2014)

Pavol Breslik: Tenor

Róbert Pechanec: Piano

Pime, chlapci, pime víno,

Pime, chlapci, pime víno,

však nám teče potok mimo, 

Keď sa vínka napijeme, 

vodičkou sa umyjeme. 

Nech mi nehovorí žiaden, 

abych išiel zo šenku ven,

potom pôjdem zo šenku ven, 

keď zaplatím, čo som dlžen. 

Krčmárovi za vínečko, 

mojej milej za perečko,

potom pôjdem zo šenku ven, 

keď zaplatím, čo som dlžen.

Drink the Wine, My Lads

Drink the wine, my lads, some more,

there's a stream outside the door.

When the wine is all drunk dry.

we'll have water to wash by.

Let nobody tell me, So,

you should leave the pub and go!

I will leave the pub and go

when I've paid all that I owe.

To the publican for sips,

to my sweetheart for her lips;

then I'll leave the pub and go

when I've paid all that I owe.

(24/25) The Barmaid Was Pouring / Šenkovala šenkárička

24. The Barmaid Was Pouring / Šenkovala šenkárička

Mikuláš Schneider-Trnavský: Songs (2014)

Pavol Breslik: Tenor

Róbert Pechanec: Piano

Šenkovala šenkárička

Šenkovala šenkárička nové víno, 

prišel za ňú mysliveček: ulej mi ho.

Šenkárička nalieva, myslivec ju objíma, 

a ten její najmilejší sa im dzíva.

Nech ja to viac, moja milá, neuvidzim, 

že by si sa objímala s každým iným! 

Myslivec sa rozhneval, vytáhel meč, do nej vťal, 

ani jeden, ani druhý jej nedostal.

=====

The Barmaid Was Pouring

The barmaid was pouring the new wine, see;

a hunter came up to her; pour one for me.

The barmaid was pouring the hunter embraced her,

just when her dearest darling faced her.

No more, my love, let me never see

you embracing anyone else but me!

The hunter stabbed her with furious knife;

none of the tow had her to wife.

(25/25) When I Confessed Today / Keď som sa spovedal

25. When I Confessed Today / Keď som sa spovedal

Mikuláš Schneider-Trnavský: Songs (2014)

Pavol Breslik: Tenor

Róbert Pechanec: Piano

My favorite song in this album.

Keď som sa spovedal

(Ej, hory, hory, hory čierne)

Keď som sa spovedal, farár mi povedal,

ak frajerku nemám, aby som si hľadal..

Ej, hory, hory, hory čierne,

ej, neraz som ja prešiel cez ne,

ej, neraz, nie dva nevečeral,

ej, ani doma nenocoval!

Tak túžim za tebou, jak rybka za vodou,

a ja za tebou tak, ako za horou vták!

Ej, hory, hory, hory čierne,

ej, neraz som ja prešiel cez ne,

ej, neraz, nie dva nevečeral,

ej, ani doma nenocoval!

=====

When I Confessed Today

(Hey, Hills, Hills, Hills So Black)

When I confessed today, the priest had this to say,

"If you don't have a sweetheart, find one right away!"

Hey, hills, hills, hills, so black,

hey, I've crossed them on my track,

hey, hungry while I roamed,

hey, and slept away from home!

Like a fish longs for water, I'm longing for you still,

I'm like a bird that's distant from his native hill.

Hey, hills, hills, hills, so black,

hey, I've crossed them on my track,

hey, hungry while I roamed,

hey, and slept away from home!
