22. What Everybody´s Saying / Všetci ľudia povedajú

Mikuláš Schneider-Trnavský: Songs (2014)

Pavol Breslik: Tenor

Róbert Pechanec: Piano

Všetci ľudia povedajú, že ja ľúbim mlynárku,

všetci ľudia povedajú, že ja ľúbim mlynárku,

a ja ju neľúbim, ja ju len rád vidím, a prečo?

Pretože má pri úšku frndžalku-ku-ku-ku,

pretože má pri úšku frndžalku.

Všetci ľudia povedajú, že ja ľúbim vínečko;

to je moja medecína, uzdraví mi srdiečko;

už ma dávno bolí, nič ho nevyhojí, a prečo?

Pretože mlynárka s iným chodí-dí-dí-dí,

Pretože mlynárka s iným chodí.

Nalej, nalej, mlynáročka, vínka ešte naposled,

pôjdete mi, kamaráti; onedlho na pohreb;

Do hrobu ma dajte, a dobre sa majte, a prečo?

Pri vínečku na mňa pamätajte

a moju mlynarečku pekne pozdravujte.

=====

I love the miller maid, that's what everybody's saying,

and I don't love her, I just like to see her, and why?

Because the pendant on her ear keeps swaying-ing-ing-ing,

Because the pendant on her ear keeps swaying.

And everybody's saying that I love my glass of wine,

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.

=====
