about

Drinking song, Franciszek Bohomolec, 18 c.

lyrics

Курдэш*

Кажы несць віна, пане Гжэгаш мілы,
Каб мы турботаў ужо больш не снілі.
Хай і Ганулька т ут засядзе з намі,
Курдэш, курдэш, над курдэшамі!

Як дакрануцца да бутэлек рукі,
Знікне ў той момант з нашых сэрцаў смутак.
Хочам мы разам звоніць келішкамі,
Курдэш, курдэш, над курдэшамі!

Бачце, як дзельны вынік таго віна
Ужо мне сэрца весяліць зачына.
Пад стол келішкі, піем шкляніцамі,
Курдэш, курдэш, над курдэшамі!

Узновім продкаў пітныя абрады,
Выкінем шклянкі,зломныя прылады.
Па-старасвецку пійма келіхамі,
Курдэш, курдэш, над курдэшамі!

*курдэш (kurdesz) – па-старапольску блізкі сябра, прыяцель


Kurdesz*

Order wine, dear Lord Grzegorz,
So we can have a peaceful sleep.
Let Hanulka join us,
Kurdesz, kurdesz above all kurdeszes!

With the touch of the bottle
Grief leaves our hearts at once.
All we want is to raise our glasses together,
Kurdesz, kurdesz above all kurdeszes!

That wine has excellent aftermath;
It fills my heart with great joy.
Get rid of small glasses, drink straight from the pitchers!
Kurdesz, kurdesz above all kurdeszes!

Let’s revive the drinking customs,
Throw the glasses and broken dishes away.
Drink from mugs, like in old times!
Kurdesz, kurdesz above all kurdeszes!

*kurdesz (koordesh) – old polish, close friend
