(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!
