  • My grandma thinks that people from Japan adore this song, coughcough. . .no. . .coughcough

  • @oddjob19991 your grandma is right, there's even a Japanese version of the song. But it's got definitely nothing to do with coughing ! :) The song is about a bird, called cuckoo in English, but I guess you know it very well :)

  • welcome to my channel to hear this wonderful piece performed by foreigners :) and many others

  • 55 years ago, my father had a set of LP records of Mazowsze and the one that had this song on it was my favourite when I was a little girl. Unfortunately my sister sat on it and broke it and I was heart broken. I am so glad I found it here. I also love the Polonez and Lulajze Jezunui.

  • 0:40-0:43 bidula trochę sił widać nie ma;D

  • eee.., ja nie przeciągnąłem struny wcale. Skąd pewność, że to obcokrajowcy? Dziwne, że po polsku nie było nic... Intencje nie były złe. To taka pułapka jest, że wszystko co zapachnie dyskryminacją musi nią być. Czujność nie polega na węszeniu i dopatrywaniu, ale na uwadze. A do kultury mają pierwszeństwo jej adresaci, w tym wypadku, to?

  • A co to. Szkoda, że nie po niemiecku te komentarze..

  • @rafk75 Kompletnie nie rozumiem takiego sposobu myślenia! Przeszkadza Ci, ze polski utwór jest popularny za granicą? Przeszkadza, że obcokrajowcy interesują się nim i go komentują? Czyli jak powinno być? Polska tylko dla Polaków?

  • Schöööööööönb!!!!! ładny!!

  • I first heard this piece in the 1950s by Mazowsze and always haunted by it. Just now I discover it on Youtube! So can anyone tell me what is that little sound the choir does after each verse phrase...and what does it mean?

    Also where can I find the lyrics? Maybe it would be easier if I knew the Polish word...

  • @jkftl Well, you mean the little sound the choir does after each verse phrase? It doesn't mean anything and there is no spelling for it. I hope I have understood well which sound you mean, as I presume you are no asking about the cuckoo sound in the chorus...

    The lyrics can be probably obtained by searching the net for KUKUŁECZKA MAZOWSZE TEKST.

    Just copy it from here and paste into your search engine. Good luck.

  • @vitekpiglet

    Thanks for the 'tekst'. Now how do I get the lyrics in English. I've searched diligently and find nothing. Must I copy/paste each verse to the translating utilities I see on the 'Net?

    And on that little sound ("MMMMP!"), not in the refrain; I've never heard any vocal affectation like it. Is it just some regional 'vocal punctuation' or commentary?

  • @jkftl - MMMMP doesn't mean anything, trust me! It might be , as you said, some regional punctuation, but nothing else.

    As for the lyrics, I must have misunderstood you, as I had thought you could understand Polish. I'll try to translate the lyrics for you, as I don't think those translating devices are any good...

  • @vitekpiglet AWWWW!! That would be so nice of you. But you don't need to do all the verses...just a couple to get the feel of what they are singing.

    I have more comment on Mazowsze but they don't give us enough space here. JK

  • @jkftl I.ve just finished transalting, but the lyrics are too long to be posted here - tell me your e-mail address, I'll send the lyrics to you.

  • @vitekpiglet Sure...

    jrkess98@aol.com

  • @jkftl thanks, Ive just sent you an e-mail message with the lyrics. I have translated the whole lyrics, this here performance is shorter, not the whole lyrics.

  • @vitekpiglet And I thank you again. I received all five verses. I have streamlined the English a bit for sending out. 'Kukuleczka" is definitely a ladies' song. The other performance on YouTube, from the CD, without any video, has all five and has very clear enunciation.

  • This is from Poland

  • Тот, кто учился в в варшавской школе на Килецкой в 53-61 годах, конечно, не может забыть, как мучали нас этой песней в хоре. Лично я ее просто ненавидела. А теперь ее слушаю, и она мне представляется самой прекрасной песней на свете.

  • Irenantuanetta - thanks for posting your comment. I used to speak Russian fluently, but I lost the command of your language a few years ago. I understand everything what you wrote, though.

    Your words clearly show that our attitude towards something is greatly influenced by the circumstances in which we have contact with the thing in question, and that the way sb presents it to us can affect the way we perceive it even more than the qualities of the song itself.

    BTW, I know better songs by "M"
