Ay Ay! I'm here and ready to help <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

How did your "famous essay" on food turn out? <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Ah.. I haven't written it yet... I even don't have the outline yet :| I'm really fed up with it but I know I must go back to work soon... <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Good pun!

Oh! Indeed <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I haven't noticed it at all <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Pragna oczka pragna, dle dziewczyna wladnu
Obiecala a nie dala, chustecka, jedbawna
Dam cie Jasiu potem, jak wyszyje zlotem
Zeby Tata ani Matka nie wiedzieli o tym

Pokusze me oczy, smiejace sie zawdy
Slodkie slowka w ucho szepta
Lech nie mowi prawdy

Mylisz sie Jasienku, myslisz w kazdym
slowie
Co mie serce do cie czuje, to wyraza w mowie

Wszystkkescie jednaki ,lubice flirtowac,
Ale przybliz sie do ktore sprobuj pocalowac

Lubisz,Jasiu dogryzc, I mash ostre zemby
Nie mysza tobu gonic I nadstawiac geby
Futjaryscie chlopcy ,ino zalowac
Od tego sa ladne buzie, zeby ja calowac

There ya go Nancy.. This should be easier for you..
Lets see what you can do with it.. Mikolaj or Blazej can correct us tomorrow
I am going to send this to Joasia in South Wales. Tomorrow she turns fifty.. Good luck

uhm.. I can't find the text of this song anywhere on the internet. My little song booklet dosen't have it either.. But I shall try to correct it as much as I can

Pragna oczka pragna, za dziewczyna ladna
Obiecala a nie dala, chusteczke jedbawna
Dam ci Jasiu potem, jak wyszyje zlotem
Zeby Tata ani Matka nie wiedzieli o tym

Pokusze me oczy, smiejace sie zawdy
Slodkie slowka w ucho szepta
Lecz nie mowi prawdy

Mylisz sie Jasienku, myslisz w kazdym
slowie
Co mie serce do cie czuje, to wyraza w mowie

Wszystkiescie jednakie ,lubice flirtowac,
Ale przybliz sie do ktore sprobuj pocalowac

Can't figure this out:
Lubisz,Jasiu dogryzc, I masz ostre zeby
Nie mysza toba gonic I nadstawiac geby
Futjaryscie chlopcy ,ino zalowac
Od tego sa ladne buzie, zeby je calowac

Frank, you said I'd be easier for Nancy than the last one and it's the other way round <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> It's even more difficult than "Szla Dzieweczka" because it has more arcahic forms and folk expressions <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

One Comment: Without the polish letters it will be very often difficult or imposible to distinguish which case is needed..

Mikolaj
You will not find the songs that I sing on the internet..These were songs written in America by Polonia.. Maybe that is why it is so easy for me..There is a lot of slang in here.. This is the Polish that I understand.. I would be in big trouble in Poland.
Dont leave us we need you

Mikolaj,
I can see where you can get frustrated with my words.. But you have to remember that these songs were written by illiterate Polish Peasants.. This is Polish soul music They sang it from their hearts.. You can hear these songs everyday in America

I'm not going anywhere... only to sleep, and that very soon <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
About this song... It has no "slang" in it, only, as I said, some "folk-expressions" and archaisms. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> It's not impossible to translate, but i think quite difficult...

Maybe after Nancy translates this song, I'll post a song? I have one on my mind...it's called "Stary Smok". And you can even download it legally from the internet <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> It's sung by a student of The Music Academy in Cracow. She is a very powerful soprano <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> But... I'll tell more at the right time <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
